Norsat International, Inc. (NSATF) Used to Broadcast Obama Address

Norsat International announced that its video streaming technology was used in the broadcasting of President Obama’s surprise visit and address to U.S. service members in Bagram, Afghanistan, earlier this month.

Norsat is focused on providing communications systems that allow for transmitting digital data, such as audio and video, from remote and low-technology locations. Norsat is capable of providing support from design and development to distribution and service of their tech, which includes portable ground station/maritime based satellite terminals, antennas, RF conditioning products, and microwave components.

The satellite terminal used in the broadcast was Norsat’s NewsLink, equipped with the DVIDS (Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System) Direct Kit, which allows users with minimal training to establish a transmission. DVIDS uses a network of portable Ku-band satellite transmitters located in-theater and a distribution hub in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Amiee Chan, president and CEO of Norsat, said, “We have been working closely with the troops of DVIDS since it was founded in 2004. We are pleased that Norsat’s innovative products and services have enabled DVIDS to become the premier and trusted service provider of this type of media content in the Department of Defense and onward to media in the U.S. and around the world.”
