Real-time live events require broadcasting of live video at any time from any location. DSNG services provide the facility for the continuous broadcast of live events on the move 24*7 from the event location. DSNG solutions are designed to deliver uninterrupted live video from a moving vehicle.

Furthermore, the services are used for live coverage of events like sports, news, entertainment etc. The services are primarily used by news organisations to break any story by sending a crew to broadcast it first to their audience. Broadcasters use uplink and downlink services to deliver your events to any part of the world.

Without further ado, Let’s take a closer look at these services and how they have transformed the media landscape.

DSNG & Satellite Services

DSNG services are delivered with the help of DSNG or OB (Outside broadcast) Vans. These vans are equipped with highly sophisticated audio and video transmitters and receivers. In addition to this, these vans have a dish antenna which is aimed at satellites for the purpose of worldwide newscasting.

Furthermore, in order to provide these services, one needs to maintain a fleet of mobile vans equipped with uplinking infrastructure to provide solutions for live media event coverage. In addition to this, DSNG services require cutting edge technology to deliver splendid viewer experience for media houses and broadcasters.

DSNG solutions are also used to bring live footage from live occurrences which require a moving camera. Leading News Organizations use DSNG services to cover national emergencies, elections, Sports and other big live events. DSNG solutions require high performance and agility as uninterrupted video needs to be relayed in real time for this part of the broadcasting business.

Last but not least, DSNG solution providers should be always ready to reach extreme territories and broadcast the event first from these hard to reach locations.
