Join Aspera and SendtoNews live in the newsroom to see how SendtoNews is transforming content distribution and event coverage using the Aspera Mobile Platform.

Keith Wells, Founder of SendtoNews, will discuss the unique challenges and benefits of covering events using handheld devices such as iPhones. He will also talk about how Aspera's technology achieves predictability and control over uploads from anywhere, over wireless networks.  

As part of the presentation, Keith will provide an entertaining glimpse into sports, the Olympics, and how the paradigm of news and event coverage is shifting from big video teams driving satellite trucks to mobile content creators—and a variety of people creating content that newsrooms want.

In summary, Aspera provides SendtoNews with:

• Performance: Aspera is faster than TCP on 3G wireless, and up to 10x faster over 4G.
• Predictability:  a stringer, photographer or video-journalist with with newsworthy, broadcast quality footage can achieve predictable rate control and higher network throughput than a random user uploading random videos or images. 
• Centralized control and reporting:  all transfers can be managed centrally by one user, tracked, monitored and controlled.
