AEN Selects Hughes for Emergency Communications Network Service
Posted on: Friday, 18 July 2008, 09:00 CDT
America's Emergency Network has entered into an agreement with Hughes Network Systems, under which Hughes will provide the broadband satellite backbone of AEN's satellite-video-internet emergency communications network using HughesNet service, powered by the new Spaceway 3 satellite system.
According to America's Emergency Network (AEN), combining its expertise with Hughes' Ka-band satellite system will enable it to transmit up to three simultaneous video streams originating from any location in the US, southern Canada, Puerto Rico, and several major Latin American cities.
These side-by-side-by-side video streams will provide high-resolution video suitable for television outlets; video that can be fed directly to publicly available web pages; and in the future, video that will be sent directly to cell phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices.
Mike Cook, senior vice president at Hughes, said: "Spaceway 3 is the ideal platform to carry the AEN service. Its bandwidth-on-demand capability is the perfect solution for sending information that by its nature can't be scheduled and will come in bursts. AEN will only pay for the extra bandwidth when its needed."
