Mobile news gathering using AI powered compression

This Media-Telco Catalyst is working to empower newsrooms and journalists through improved intelligence for the mobile reporter in the field and faster time-to-air for both live and pre-recorded content through leveraging AI, techniques for improved bandwidth utilization, exploiting advanced compression techniques.

The project aims to improve efficiencies of bandwidth utilization using advanced compression and encoding to empower journalists in the field. The project will harness state-of-the-art AI powered video compression, rendering and encoding techniques to potentially accelerate transmission of mobile video time-to-air for both live and pre-recorded news content in the face of fluctuating and often unreliable mobile network coverage.

Using live feeds, to accelerate speed of transmission using image & video compression to achieve:

Increased speed of transmission from field to on-air
Prove better reliability on-air over unreliable networks
Create better images at very low bandwidth

This project is developed as part of a Media-Telco partnership between TM Forum and IBC. Find out more.
