Mobile Viewpoint develops for BBC News a dedicated app for mobile journalism

Mobile Viewpoint and  the BBC are working together since the Olympic Games in 2012 where the complete Olympic Torch Relay was successfully streamed live using Mobile Viewpoint WMT backpacks with bonded 3G/4G connections. Since this project BBC News deployed over 50 + Mobile Viewpoint WMT units for the different foreign offices. All the regional channels are solely using Mobile Viewpoint for their live news as well. 

Michel Bais, CEO of Mobile Viewpoint: “We are looking forward to the deployment of this dedicated live newsgathering app because it will leverage social media channels like Facebook and Twitter with professional journalism. ”
