Ericsson and Far EasTone first to use 5G network slicing for live broadcast of marathon
For the first time in Taiwan , 5G network slicing was used to ensure a great viewing experience of the competition through smooth transmission of live streaming data .
Catering to the needs of broadcasting the competition along the route , FET and Ericsson worked together to deliver a seamless 5G experience by leveraging 5G end-to-end network slicing .
With the ability to isolate traffic through a slice that is configured to meet broadcasters ’ specific needs in throughput , latency and security , Ericsson ’ s network slicing technology allowed FET to provide quick and flexible allocation of its bandwidth to the event location .
Far EasTone Telecommunications ( FET ), TVBS , a Taiwanese television and multimedia company , and Ericsson have played an important role in the live broadcast of the New Taipei City Wan Jin Shi Marathon ( WJS Marathon ).
In addition , FET improved network capacity by optimizing the existing base stations and adding Cell On Wheels ( COW ) on site to ensure every part of the competition was fully captured . Cell On Wheels are mobile cells that can be added in strategic locations to ensure a good end-user mobile experience .
Sibel Bahadir , Vice President and Head of the FET account of Ericsson Taiwan , said : “ We are proud to be a pioneer in creating another use case in network slicing in collaboration with FET .”
MEASAT selects the Hughes JUPITER System to help connect the unconnected across Malaysia
Hughes Network Systems , an EchoStar company , has announced that MEASAT Global Berhad , Malaysia ’ s premier satellite operator , has selected the Hughes JUPITER System ground platform to enable broadband services on the MEASAT-3d High-Throughput Satellite ( HTS ). MEASAT-3d will leverage the JUPITER System gateway and terminals to extend its CONNECTme NOW satellite broadband services throughout Malaysia .
Yau Chyong Lim , Chief Operating Officer , MEASAT , said : “ We are glad to partner with Hughes to bring this next generation upgrade to our vital CONNECTme NOW services . The Hughes JUPITER System will help us turn our ambitions for MEASAT-3d into reality , serving more than two million unconnected citizens across Malaysia within the next three years .”
Launched on June 22 , 2022 , MEASAT-3d increased the company ’ s broadband capacity 10-fold – from 3 Gbps to 30 Gbps . Now powered by the JUPITER ground system , the new satellite delivers broadband service with download speeds of up to 100 Mbps .
“ MEASAT ’ s choice of the JUPITER System to enable service on the MEASAT-3d HTS underscores their commitment to delivering greater connectivity across Malaysia ,” said Ramesh Ramaswamy , Executive
Vice President and General Manager , International Division , EchoStar . “ We value the partnership and the trust MEASAT has placed in Hughes in helping to bridge the digital divide .”
Widely used across the industry , the Hughes JUPITER System is the de facto standard for satellite implementations worldwide with features that yield higher bandwidth efficiency and lower service cost for operators than other satellite ground systems .
