The Signal 3G SolutionSignal 3G ENGs revolutionary Portable device provides a real time videouplink solution at broadcast quality. Go live in seconds!

Signal 3G ENG provides you the fastest, lightest, lowest cost and the bestquality broadcast technologyWhen breaking news happens, every second counts. With Signal 3Gs livebroadcast system, you can go live instantly. Signal 3G is unique in addressingthe need for immediacy, flexibility and affordability in broadcasting and videodelivery.

The ChallengeSignal 3G can be used by field reporters to capture breaking news long beforethe satellite truck can be set up and available for transmission.

Create a seamless experiencefrom the field to the news desk.With Signal 3G live broadcasting systems you can now transform every reporterinto a team who can create the content and transmit it. Using the Signal 3Ghandheld devices and any available 3G, WIMAX, EVDO, EDGE cellular network,you can instantly:

- Receive and broadcast video streams live from the field, directly andcontinuously.

- Link reporters through audibly and visually in the field with news producers backat the studio.- Most importantly, act faster and with more certainty when youre ready to go liveon the air.

Built for Easy DeploymentSignal 3G live broadcasting solution requires very low infrastructure investment andmonthly expenses. With Signal 3G handheld devices and any brand of up to ninecompatible 3G modems (you can have 5, 6 or 7 modems if the network coverage isgood), youll be up and running in no time at all. While millions of dollars are spent on

each satellite truck and various pieces of equipment, when using Signal 3G, a broadcastergains an end-to-end, cost effective solution based on industry standard video technologyand networking protocols. Built for speed of implementation, ease of deployment and lowcost operation, Signal 3G provides broadcasters with instant access to a singlecameraman reporting video feeds that keep your stations at the forefront of newsgathering.

Customer BenefitsSignal 3G One-button, live broadcasting from the field Enables field reporters to easily broadcast live video anytime andanywhere. Only Signal 3G works wherever any one of 3G, 2G,EVDO, WIMAX and GPRS cellular networks are available. The result:Signal 3G provides the best live video quality in the industry, andtouts the longest battery life by using both internal and externalbatteries.

Signal 3G Transmitter & ReceiverLow-latency solutions broadcasting live and delivering video seamlessly from the field to news room In the broadcasting business, getting information to viewers quickly isimperative. Traditionally, when an event occurs, news organizationsdispatch a crew with a microwave or satellite truck. Setting up thetruck would take several minutes, during which time no shootingcould take place. With a Signal 3G handheld device and a camera, asingle reporter can capture video and broadcast live, which isstreamed directly to the studio with sub-three second latency.Signal 3G can also be used to stream directly to the studio andproduction crew adds graphics and/or changes audio and live feed isready for direct to air broadcast.

Signal 3G ENG cuts costs and increases efficiency.A single reporter can create and transmit content whenever and whereverthere is a story. More teams can be in the field without broadcast vans andadditional equipment. You will have more live content, and this will helpyou to generate more revenue. With more live content, TV channels, web

sites and web portals will captivate viewers and maximize ratings! Evensmall events can be broadcasted live profitably.

Live Monitoring Signal 3G application allows broadcast producersto view multiple live video streams on time share basis that arecoming from different Signal 3G transmitters.

Video Quality Signal 3G transmitters are capable of transmitting at 30 fpsand 720x480 resolution. Signal 3G allows transmission at bit rates from 750kbps to over 3mbps. Signal 3G has special algorithmwhich enables all theavailable 3G carriers and combines upload speed to the maximum allowedbandwidth by carrier. Bandwidth can reach from 750 kbps to 3 mbps.

Audio Quality Signal 3G audio encoders support AAC, MPEG2and MPEG4.

Battery : Signal 3G transmitter has a built in internal battery with 3hours capacity. Sony V-Mount type or Anton-Bauer camera batteriescan also be used optional as an external battery that could increasethe battery life up to 7 hours.

Operation Modes : Standard definition is default but high definitioncould be delivered as an option.

Video Inputs : Composite is standard video input but HDMI/SDI canbe added upon request.

Security Signal 3G transmitter communicates only with Signal 3Greceiver that ensures content security and integrity.

Automation - Signal 3G has automated most of the technicalinfrastructure to allow the news organizations to concentrate on thestory. Network negotiation, bandwidth allocation, transcoding andpropagation are seamlessly handled without the need to trainpersonnel.

Flexible Integration Signal 3G live broadcasting solutionseamlessly integrates into current broadcast infrastructure (such asAvid Newscutter or Apple Final Cut Pro for live playout).

Publishing - Automatic posting of Signal 3G streams is one-button easy toweb sites.

Our advantages:

1. We Send data as UDP and not TCP/IP Like the other manufacturers.This gives an efficient use of bandwidth , lower latency and minimumtime taken to recover lost packets unlike TCP/IP

2. We have dedicated hardware including Top of the line H.264hardware encoder unlike Live VU , TVU and others who hav softwareencoders built on a Laptop PC.Thus we can deliver

a. Better quality Videob. Lower heat dissipation and power consumption resulting in

battery life that is 3 times the competition and a weight factorthat is only 3.5Kg with internal battery that lasts 3 hoursminimum

c. True bonded Modems delivering superior bandwidth3. Our unique site survey software looks at Networks occupancy and

due to our high gain modem antennas built in to the product ,we are

able to look at cell sites beyond the primary cell site. Thus network congestion does not affect us. We will transmit when other fail.4. Our dedicated receive units are optimized to product the best video

rather than use standard off the shelf Decklink cards and somesoftware.
