Hi Everyone,
I have a user that is looking at Cellular connection only solution and the main application is Broadcasting, He is looking at 1Gbps upload. It seems that the HD MBX 5G is the only ‘suitable’ solutions? What about BR2 Pro 5G?
Appreciate any expert advice. Thanks!
Does the user really need 1Gbps upload? We always get these requests for broadcasting only to find they need a solid 20-30Mbps.
You almost certainly won’t get 1Gbps upload with 4 cell (HD4 MBX 5G), and definitely not with a BR2 Pro. You will need roughly 10 cellular modems with a REALLY good cellular plan (and coverage/capacity) to achieve 1Gbps.
In reality, for broadcasting, an HD4 MBX 5G would be excellent and, depending on number of streams, what the bitrate being transmitted is, and a few other items, we can actually get solid broadcasting backhaul.
I would work with the user to understand the actual requirements and focus in on those instead of a blanket “1Gbps” requirement. We have this conversation regularly (multiple times per week) with clients who have the same request. Feel free to reach out if you need assistance

you would be really hard pressed to achieve sustained 1Gbps upload speeds much less even at burstable rates.
what are they broadcasting?
@ChristopherSpitler Appreciate your response on this, user will be streaming and recording at the same time. after the live steam session is over. it will be uploaded to cloud. everything is on SIM connection only.
@wcnetworks as per above. thanks for your response too
