Has anyone noticed how great the live video streaming is for the KOH 2013? Anyone know what equipment they are using and the method (satellite/cell phone transmission etc)?
If so, pass the word to Norman (HDRA/SCORE), Casey (BITD), DAKAR, RG Motors or anyone else putting on these remote venues. It is about time that someone is getting it right!

AGREED great coverage - People wonder why dessert racing is not that big its because the live coverage sucks. Planet Robby does an amazing job but thats only for one great racer.
It would be great if Roger Norman and Casey Folks added this to their formats even if just for qualifying.
Yes, this would attract more people to these events.
YES fine example of what this thingy can really do.
by far the best non-network streaming.They sent the money for band width it appears
I'm sure Ultra 4 has rented a cell repeating tower and amplifier because if you look at the existing wireless coverage and nearest tower locations Johnson Valley is pretty much a dead zone. http://opensignal.com/
The KOH location in the Johnson Valley is excellent for setting up a repeater and pointing it to existing 4G towers in 29 Palms. Trying to do this in Baja would be cost prohibitive. Even in Parker you'd have to chain 3 - 4 towers with a couple of signal amplifiers to cover the entire course.
They probably used a company like iStream planet and rolled a truck out there to ingest, uplink, downlink and distribute through a CDN to the end users such ourselves.
