Traveling 3,100 miles in 7 days, through 12 States meant we were mobile to an extreme.

Thanks to product sponsorship from WAAV, we were able to broadcast a real time reality show on UStream using their AirBox X2 Slide Router.  WAAV’s traditional market includes federal agencies and bus/train companies to first responders to Fortune 100 companies.

Small business clients use mobile internet for  reliable Internet access in remote locations and fleet management – WAAV’s award-winning technology is changing how and where people access critical information anywhere, anytime.

Our application of the AirBox X2 was really meant to understand, and apply real time social mobile broadcasting at 70 miles per hour.  Using traditional data cards still work to some degree, but they are really meant for fixed mobile applications – for places such as an airport, hotel, or office where you may not have access to WiFi.  We did have a redundant solution with a Sprint Overdrive, but the AirBox X2 was our core application for the broadcast shown above.

Even in more remote areas such as Nebraska, North Dakota, Indiana, and Minnesota, the AirBox X2 performed.  It had dual Sprint broadband cellular modems and can actually handle cellular modems from competing carriers.

Thank for you for being a product sponsor and have a technology platform that really performed.
