Recently, I have been testing the Sprint 4G WiMax network with the VBrick Mobile Broadcast System. I sent a 950Kbps stream from Chicago back to my office in Wallingford. Yesterday a VBrick engineer tested sending video with the system via 4G in Reston, Virginia. Initial results look very promising.
Sprint has a 1 Mbps upload cap and the service is “best effort” which means that your upload bitrate could degrade if many users are uploading at the same time via the same cell tower. However 1 Mbps is enough to send very high quality video that is encoded from the VBrick H.264 appliance.
I plan to demonstrate this with Sprint at their technology exposition at the Las Vegas Wynn hotel during the National Association of Broadcasters show. This will be from 4pm to 6pm each day during NAB. I will be at the VBrick booth (SL3309) showing off the product from 9am to 3pm each day as well. Please drop by and check it out if you are at NAB next week!
