Teradek announced the addition of more global carriers to their growing list of supported networks for Teradek Data. This expansion broadens their cellular data system, which is specifically designed for content and video creators who require stability and high performance in their live broadcasts, regardless of their location worldwide. Let’s take a closer look at what Teradek Data offers!

Teradek, an American company, is certainly the leading name in high-quality video transmission solutions, best known for their low-latency video signals. They also offer new products like their Teradek TV platform with remote monitoring or their Ctrl.5 Wireless Lens Control Hand Unit for pulling focus.

For those unfamiliar with Teradek Data, the system integrates multiple cellular connections into a single, bonded signal for a more stable and higher-bandwidth connection. Users experience worldwide 4G and 5G support, data sharing across multiple devices, streaming over LTE, 5G, and private mobile networks with both Teradek and third-party devices, and more.

What Teradek Data plans offer

Several data plans are available according to your needs, including Priority (Priority NATIVE data in North America), Standard (Flexible multicarrier data across the world), Priority Data Europe (a special set of SIMs for European users), and Data Caribbean (a specialty set of SIMs for Caribbean users). All Teradek Data plans and SIMs come with the following characteristics, according to the company:

• Pooled buckets – Teradek uses the bucket billing system across all of their solutions with various price points.
• Uncapped – Teradek doesn’t turn your data off when you run over your bucket.  Production is the most important.
• Unfiltered – Teradek does not filter or slow down your data in your class, even above your bucket amount.
• Peace of mind knowing that Teradek SIMs work with their products in the country of your choosing.
• Multi-carrier ability with a number of plans.
• Classes of data are not compatible with each other but can be purchased together with separate buckets (Priority vs. Standard vs. EU Priority vs. Caribbean).

Connectivity with Teradek Nodes or third-party devices

Teradek Data can be used with a wide range of third-party modems and routers. However, the company points out that using Teradek products also offers multi-carrier locking, drop-down configuration, and enhanced control over SIM profiles. Their high-performance modems are constructed with an aluminum chassis, 3-1/4″ – 20 mount options, and a 5-pin locking connector to attach to a Teradek Prism Flex.

Although we don’t know exactly which new providers have been added to their supported networks, their list of global carriers appears to be growing.
