Sierra Wireless Global Connectivity Enables France Télévisions’ Journalists to Broadcast from Around the World
November 19 2019 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading IoT
solutions provider that combines devices, network and software to
unlock value in the connected economy, today announced that its
smart IoT connectivity solution is enabling global communications
for France Télévisions, the main public broadcaster in France,
ensuring global connectivity for its broadcast journalists around
the world.
Previously, reporters had to buy local SIM cards in each country
in order to broadcast their TV reports. Sierra Wireless’ smart IoT
connectivity solution automatically connects to the best available
2G, 3G, or LTE network in a given region, without the need for
installing a local SIM card and configuring the equipment. France
Télévisions’ cameras and distribution equipment are always “ready
to use” to reliably broadcast news reports from wherever news
breaks. France Télévisions can also manage its subscriptions in the
cloud, using the AirVantageTM Platform.
Cédric Masset, France Télévisions’ head of the projects
department for national newsrooms, said: “Reporters previously had
to buy and set up the SIM card locally to be able to upload their
video reports to France Télévisions systems. Sierra Wireless’ IoT
connectivity has exceeded our expectations. It saves our staff a
significant amount of time and hassle and provides the capacity for
reporters to share news far more rapidly.”
Marc Overton, Chief Solutions Officer, Sierra Wireless, said:
“No matter where in the world a newsworthy event is taking place,
Sierra Wireless’ smart IoT connectivity ensures France Télévisions
reporters are ready to broadcast whenever and wherever they need
to.”
