Mobile ISDN Service Unveiled

Inmarsat presented its new Mobile ISDN service at IBC, the International Broadcasting Conference in Amsterdam from September 10-14. This new service, developed with valuable input from the New Media Committee of the World Broadcasting Union, will support a range of newsgathering tools at a communications rate of 64 Kpbs, while using portable satellite terminals the size of a notebook computer. Weighing 9 lbs, these terminals are a quarter of the size of the equipment that is used to relay video via Inmarsat's global satellite network.
