Connect Modems BROADCAST RELIABLE

Cellular wireless data connections like 3G and 4G LTE have redefined the way remote broadcasts
are done. In particular, USB cellular modems make connecting to these networks fast and simple.
But many of the off-the-shelf modems offered by the wireless carriers are not designed to meet
the rigorous demands of the 24/7 news cycle. The solution? Comrex Connect Modems.

The Comrex Connect Modem is designed to support the unique needs of remote broadcasters. A
high-powered, industrial strength 4G LTE modem, the Connect Modem is also 3G* compatible.
Outfitted with a high-gain antenna, the Connect Modem is more powerful than most USB data
modems available on the market, to handle the heavy data load of a broadcast over IP.
*Verizon network does not support 3G services

bonds the available cellular networks and sends a single media stream, along with
background and error correction information, resulting in a higher level of reliability for
remotes. Dual modem
