Prism Mobile Backpack: The latest 5G solution from Teradek debuts at IBC 2023

On display for the first time at the Teradek booth at IBC 2023 (September 15-18) will be Prism Mobile Backback, a 5G backpack ready to deliver coverage with resolutions up to 4K and HDR capabilities.

The Teradek new Prism Mobile Backpack features the ability to deliver up to 6 simultaneous mobile connections over 5G and LTE networks. The system is based on the Teradek Prism Mobile 4K mobile encoder, which is reinforced with up to 4 Node 5G modems.

The solution, to be showcased at IBC 2023, has been designed for “global news gathering and live event coverage” in situations where WiFi is not available. The system is born with versatility as its foundation, as the system will allow modems, encoders and power to be swapped “at will” to prepare for any environment and type of coverage.

Other highlights of the Prism Mobile dongle include its ability to upload recordings from the field directly to camera-to-cloud platforms such as Frame.io, Sony C3P and Sony Ci, or the ability to monitor and distribute live streams from the Teradek Core Cloud platform.

Tyler Riddel, product manager at Teradek, sees the new Prism Mobile Backbacks (available now) as the next step in their range of solutions: “Our new Backpacks triple the cellular connectivity of a standard Prism Mobile and with 5G support, speeds are substantially faster. We think this is a solution that will help customers take their productions to the next level.”
