    Supporting Media with flexible, scalable solutions and bandwidth efficient connectivity

    Stay connected

    Utilising satellite-enabled devices, journalists are able to work effectively and safely, at all times no matter where the story takes them.

    Update audiences first

    Valuable news is news delivered to consumers fast and first. We help press teams remain agile and connected, anywhere in the world.

    Move with the story

    For correspondents that need to move with a story, for example covering a flood or natural disaster, Ground Control facilitates truly mobile news desks.

    Promote journalist safety

    Journalists can easily find themselves in remote and hostile environments, out of reach of cellular network coverage. They need to be able to communicate with sources, studios and access relevant files, while maintaining diligent security practices. Under these circumstances, a discreet, reliable means of sending and receiving messages, and pinpointing location is vital. Satellite connectivity solves this challenge, and devices like Ground Control’s RockSTAR provide the means.

    Store and forward content

    Filming in remote locations can be expensive and often studios require footage, edited or otherwise, to be safely stored and sent across as soon as possible. Ground Control works with multiple OEMs and satellite network service providers to bring you the best choice for all budgets. Enabling your team to share content - without worrying about connectivity or storage.

    Broadcast remote production

    If you’re heading out to report on the aftermath of a disaster, or covering incidents taking place in remote areas, connectivity is essential. Satellite terminals are portable, often very light weight, and easy to use. As satellite connectivity is capable of both supporting bandwidth-demanding streaming, and reducing packet loss and drop-outs; you can achieve high-quality live new broadcasting, from anywhere in the world.

    Evolving business models

    Media companies are faced with increasing demand for IP video and pressure to streamline operations while maintaining high-quality production. Ground Control delivers bandwidth efficient, cost-effective transmission solutions, supporting Media companies across multiple audio, video and metadata formats, in addition to ad-hoc real-time news broadcasts.

    Remote Worker Security: Journalism

    Journalists travel to dangerous areas, with both known and unknown dangers. You can’t rely on communication facilities on the ground such as mobile phone (GSM) networks as these can be easily turned off by authorities with little or no notice.
