Deployed At Geo News

eo News, Pakistan's number one
TV channel providing the latest
local, international, sports, business
and entertainment news has used the
Quicklink Mobile Encoder for its UK
Election 2017 coverage.
Geo News used the Quicklink Mobile
Encoder for Live broadcast from
London, United Kingdom to their
head-office in Karachi, Pakistan.
While filming, the changing weather
and heavy rain did not affect the live
transmission and the Mobile
Encoder worked flawlessly in
these challenging conditions.
"The Quicklink Mobile Encoder
played a vital role in the
success of Geo News coverage
of the recent UK Elections. Our
experience with the Mobile
Encoder using 4G LTE SIMS was
great and the Encoder was used
as a replacement of 'Satellite
Link,'" said Zeeshan Haider,
Manager, IT & Telecom, Geo TV.

Because of using Quicklink Mobile
Encoder and Quicklink Playout Servers,
Geo News coverage was exceptional,
received positive feedback and at the
same time, it was able to save the
satellite uplink cost. Geo TV plans to
use the Quicklink Mobile Encoder in
future broadcasts.
The Quicklink Mobile Encoder
transmits broadcast quality, low
latency live video over IP from the
most challenging of network locations.
