Inmarsat BGAN X-Stream™ delivers fastest video streaming

Inmarsat has launched BGAN X-Stream - a new service which offers broadcasters access to the world's fastest on-demand video streaming via satellite.

BGAN X-Stream guarantees streaming data rates from a minimum of 384kbps to around 450kbps. It has been developed as an enhancement to the streaming service already offered via Inmarsat's ground-breaking BGAN service - which has enabled broadcasters to deliver thousands of media reports.T

he new premium IP streaming service is accessible through existing hardware - single, highly-compact and lightweight BGAN terminals from manufacturers Hughes and Thrane & Thrane - without the need for external antenna or any additional hardware.

Drew Brandy, head of land mobile services at Inmarsat, said: "We developed BGAN X-Stream in response to demands from broadcasters.

"This enhancement represents an increase in BGAN's streaming rate of at least 50 per cent. It means that we can meet the demand for higher guaranteed data rates, and offer a service that moves closer to broadcast quality.

"No matter where the story breaks, the global reach of BGAN X-Stream will deliver higher quality video to the studio."

BGAN X-Stream is commercially available from 20 April 2009 - initially in the region covered by the Inmarsat-4 EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) satellite, and globally from June 2009.
