Mobile Viewpoint Launches IP MCR Services Facilitated by Ericsson Broadcast & Media Services

ALKMAAR, The Netherlands, September 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Today Mobile Viewpoint announces the introduction of W-Link, the new IP MCR service
supported by Ericsson Broadcast & Media services. W-Link, Mobile Viewpoint's IP and
cloud-based MCR, enables video production companies to supply and monetize their content
to an international client base. With this web-based platform broadcasters get instant
access to live stand-up positions anytime, anywhere and production companies are able to
deliver their content to anyone worldwide. Ericsson Broadcast & Media Services will
facilitate users using W-Link to route live feeds and manage international connections
through the Ericsson MCR facilities in the Netherlands, to designated client receivers on
a 24/7 basis.



Mobile Viewpoint CEO Michel Bais:



"Since the beginning we specialized in developing products that allow content creators
to transmit live HD footage over public internet connections. While the traditional
news-gathering operations still relied on fiber and satellite links, our users could
transmit and exchange HD footage at much lower cost. With the MCR facilities of service
providers like Ericsson Broadcast & Media Services we are able to leverage feeds of our
customers with the existing broadcast connectivity. This provides an interesting new
dimension to the current global reseller agreement between Ericsson AB and Mobile
Viewpoint in growing the IP business together."



W-Link allows Mobile Viewpoint customers to gain access to the worldwide network of
broadcasters facilitated by Ericsson Broadcast Services. They provide them with worldwide
playout, monitoring and support services on a 24/7 basis. Existing and new customers will
be able to source new ways of monetizing their content, by making it available through the
Content Exchange network to broadcasters all over the world. On the other hand, major
worldwide broadcasters can now source unique live content and stand up positions from
producers previously unknown. All this in a cost-efficient way, facilitated with Mobile
Viewpoint's bonding encoders and web-based Content Exchange platform and Ericsson's
worldwide network.
