This new broadcast platform will give newsgatherers the ability to choose the most effective transmission path for in-field delivery back to the broadcast facility depending on their current situation or environment.

For more than two decades broadcast and government agencies all over the world have been relying on DataPath's portable satellite terminals for fast, reliable satellite communications. DataPath's CommuniCase Technology® (CCT) antennas are designed for modlarity and flexibility, offering multiple configurations to minimize investment, reduce training needs and expand communications capabilities.

"DataPath is committed to providing total remote communications solutions for the broadcast market. By offering cellular bonding solutions in addition to our portable satellite terminals, broadcasters will have a reliable connection to transmit the news in real time, whether in an urban setting or an extreme remote location," said David Myers, President & CEO of DataPath.
