Early in the evening there wasn't power at the site, so the battery was critical. Our EvDO connection on Verizon Rev A was less than robust, but it worked. We suffered a delay of up to 1.8 seconds during our first live shot. That came down to about 0.3 seconds during our second hit. I have attached an mp3 file of the ACCESS debut on NPR. </div><br /><div><a href="http://www.comrex.com/assets/audio/AccessNPR.mp3">CLICK HERE to listen to NPR Audio</a> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Thank you, Tom and Gino, for setting us up with this gear.

Just outside of Dubai in Sharja, using the latest Hughes Thuraya IP Satellite terminal, we successfully connected to the Comrex lab and fed broadcast quality audio over 32kbps, 64kbps streaming channels, as well as using the Standard Background IP data service. We did notice some packet loss however, the fact that the network had just been switched on live not more that 48 hours earlier with no real testing or adjustments prior, this was a great success.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tKvsURqje-c/R9Bs3ItlgbI/AAAAAAAAAB0/oZhRwsaPLBA/s1600-h/IMG_0500.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174755666335990194" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tKvsURqje-c/R9Bs3ItlgbI/AAAAAAAAAB0/oZhRwsaPLBA/s200/IMG_0500.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tKvsURqje-c/R9Bs4YtlgcI/AAAAAAAAAB8/eGD23TkNxFY/s1600-h/IMG_0884b.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174755687810826690" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tKvsURqje-c/R9Bs4YtlgcI/AAAAAAAAAB8/eGD23TkNxFY/s200/IMG_0884b.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tKvsURqje-c/R9BrxotlgZI/AAAAAAAAABk/4fFhznGr7ss/s1600-h/IMG_0540.JPG"></a><br /> </div><div></div><br /><div><br /><div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6520633220512707736-8620344766262759310?l=galaxy1satellite.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Galaxy 1 Satellite Communicationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05536310369356452579noreply@blogger.com0
