Jul 15

Posted by Ken Pyle in ViodiTV, wireless | No Comments


Jerky video is the bane of television on mobile devices. Craig Lee of Ortiva Wireless talks about their technology and how it optimizes the transmission of video between wireless base stations and mobile handsets. More than just improving the quality of the video, Lee says that their product also allows carriers to increase the effective increase their coverage area. This technology has been deployed by Vodafone and is being deployed by an unnamed carrier in North America. The extremely intriguing thing is how the information Ortiva Wireless gathers could be used for optimizing content or advertisements for the individual viewer.  Watch this video shot at Parks Associates’ Connections Conference to learn more.

Green Cell Tower – Efficient and Effective

Jan 22

Posted by Ken Pyle in ViodiTV @ OPASTCO, wireless | No Comments


In this video interview filmed at OPASTCO’s 2008 Summer Convention, Pat Riordan, President and CEO of Nsight, discusses the implementation of an off-the-grid cell phone tower by its wireless subsidiary, Cellcom. Prior to Cellcom’s construction of this unique repeater site, cell service was not available in this rather remote area of the Eagle River of Northern Wisconsin.

Bringing power in via the electrical grid was too expensive to be practical. The Cellcom engineers devised a combination of solar power, wind power and a back-up generator to provide power to this unique cell tower. Besides being an environmentally-friendly way to extend communications to a previously un-served area, this solution looks like it will prove out from a business standpoint.
