Alcatel-Lucent's LTE Supports Live Video Feed for Sail Boat Race
Alcatel-Lucent LTE network solution is supported a live, broadcast video feed of the World Match Racing Tour’s German Grand Prix, an international sailing boat race being held this week on Lake Constance, Germany.
Live feeds from Formula-1 and cycling races, soccer games or track and field events are common today. However, the effort involved to get all video shots transmitted to the production studio is significant. Expensive satellite links, proprietary trunk radio systems, and even helicopters with mobile radio antennas are used for this very complex and costly operation.
Alcatel-Lucent said this sailing event demonstrates the LTE technology can replace a traditional set-up for streaming video. For this project, Alcatel-Lucent has set up a complete end-to-end network covering the 4-5 km racing event area — spanning Lake Constance, Kressbronn as well as the city of Langenargen where the TV production centre is located. http://www.alcatel-lucent.com

You just read about Alcatel-Lucent. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Alcatel built Fixed, mobile, optical and enterprise telecom equipment. What became of it?
Alcatel brought Fixed, mobile, optical and enterprise telecom equipment to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its merger with Alcatel-Lucent for US$13.4B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel-Lucent today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about LTE. Here is what it replaced:
WiBro served 2006–2018. What ultimately replaced it?
WiBro korea's deployment of mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) - an early, genuinely leading mobile-broadband network years before LTE was widespread. Its job passed to LTE — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
