The addition of two new 5G transmitters to the respected Dejero dynasty is set to challenge current industry-wide benchmarks
n iconic NAB Show moment had to be the marvellous comic strip mural boasted by none other than the Dejero booth. Detailing a heroic tale of Dejero’s live coverage capabilities, one eye- catching frame displayed the splashy pop-art words: ‘Reliable connectivity ANYWHERE!’ But it’s safe to say that this wasn’t the only thing to talk about when visiting the stand. Unsurprisingly, Dejero showcased its EnGo 265 launch from late last year – notable for its additional GateWay Mode – for the first time. “You can use it as a blended hotspot, so much larger volumes of data can be sent at a time, faster and more efficiently,” explains Dejero director of product management Yvonne Monterroso. As has practically become an industry staple for Dejero’s product lines, the transmitter contains integrated Smart Blending Technology. On top of this, the 265 incorporates hybrid-encoding capabilities – as well as enhanced security features. “We completely revamped the algorithm, increased the overall reliability performance of the unit and reduced latency,” Monterroso adds. While there was plenty of excitement seeing the EnGo 265 in the flesh, further launches coinciding with NAB were central to Dejero’s West Hall booth: EnGo 3 and EnGo 3x 5G-native mobile transmitters. Also with integrated GateWay Mode, the latest additions in the EnGo family combine superior 5G performance, multicamera support and 4K UHD resolution. “In terms of our approach, we didn’t just stick in a modem and call it 5G. We decided to take the time to properly build a fully functional
product – all the way from the ground up,” emphasises Monterroso. Quickly becoming a busy market, 5G-enabled cellular technology turned into a bit of a rat race among mobile broadcast giants. Many scrambled to bung a 5G-operated piece of kit in front of customers as soon as possible. As stressed by Monterroso, the detailed growth development of pre-existing products demonstrated by Dejero is key to a reliable solution in the face of competitors. “We have four 5G modems in each unit – and as per the 5G spec, they are full diversity,” she explains. “That means every modem has four antennae. Having four well-performing modems, along with four high-quality antennae, in turn means there are 16 total antennae providing you with a full, 5G performance – which is a true engineering feat.”
In tandem with the aforementioned Smart Blending Technology, the new transmitters feature built-in Hybrid Encoding Technology, with the latest generation of Intel processors and customised firmware. They adapt to real-time feedback on the complexity of the content encoded, such as the amount of motion. “Our work on the antennae, paired with the algorithm, means it will be deployable in even the most extreme environments. That’s why we’ve spent so much time, effort and investment on development. Those aspects truly drive the reliability and performance of the unit,” concludes Monterroso.
WHAAM! Dejero made a splash at NAB with this comic strip mural
