AirBox X2 Router Wins Prestigious Award at NAB 2007
WAAVs AirBox X2 multiple connection cellular router, won a prestigious technology award at the National Association of Broadcasters 2007 annual convention.
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) June 8, 2007 -- Each year, TV Technology magazines mystery engineer" seeks out and determines which companies have the most innovative products at the annual National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention. The selected products receive the prestigious Mario Award. Past recipients have included industry leaders such as Panasonic and Toshiba, as well as recent winner Sony.
The Mario Award is named after TV Technology writer Mario Orazio, a pen name for a leading broadcast engineer, who writes for one of the industry's most widely recognized columns, "The Masked Engineer". The Mario Awards were established in 1993 in order to identify companies with innovative products who present significant technical breakthroughs in their markets. The award is limited to ten companies yearly and over 1,500 companies competed for the award at NAB 2007.
WAAV, the world's leading provider of mobile routers, presented their AirBox X2 mobile access point at NAB and attracted plenty of attention from fellow conference attendees. It was the AirBox X2 cellular router that lured Mario to stop by and take notice. WAAVs AirBox X2 allows two simultaneous cellular connections doubling the bandwidth of a single connection. When used with two different service providers, users also benefit from the combined coverage area of both carriers. Like WAAVs CM3 mobile router, the X2 has optional GPS capabilities for remote vehicle tracking.
Heres what Mario had to say about the X2:
Mobile phones are pretty revolutionary, too, and some folks already gather news footage that way. Maybe someday pocket devices will completely eliminate news vans, but I dont think so. In the meantime, folks are using everything from satellite to sneakernet to get stories back to the station.
"Somewhere in that range is mobile-phone-based data transmission, but there are a few problems with it, like limited data rate and the possibility that the carrier youre using might be out of available channels just when you need them (ever seen the effect of a tornado on a cell tower?). Thats where WAAVs AirBox X2 cellular router comes in.
"The X2 part means it can use two different carriers at once. If ones towers down, maybe the others aint. It also means you get to increase the data rate. As a bonus, you can use its GPS to figure out which van is closest to a story. And try using satellite or a microwave mast while youre chasing a twister. The revolution will be televised."
