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.
