#Qview video upgrade

In February, 2017, Brian was in Clyde River, about 3000 kilometres north of his home in Ottawa, installing new equipment to support QINIQ’s latest upgrade to 4G-LTE and GSM technology, which means new wireless voice and data services just like in southern Canada. Brian is proud to be part of the team that delivers affordable high-speed Internet to these remote Arctic communities. Interested in having your own channel? Contact us at 4G in the Arcticĭescription: Brian Berry is a Satellite Communications Specialist with SSi Canada and has certainly seen his share of travel to Nunavut, having visited every community many times over the past several years to perform maintenance and system upgrades to the QINIQ network. We see lots of opportunities for local, governmental, and Inuit organizations who want to create uniquely Northern content and reach out to wider audiences. Our first partner, the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, was a catalyst that prompted us to finalize Qview for public use. Furthermore, Qview will be a media outlet where content creators can use web-based tools that we are also developing (such as Qme, an upcoming video conferencing platform) to distribute their content to other Nunavummiut. The first version of Qview is a media-streaming platform hosted at the Qiniq Data Center in Ottawa providing southerners with access to northern content and providing northerners with culturally relevant content optimized for constrained satellite backbones.Īs Qview develops with additional partnerships, our intent is to deploy local Qview servers in every community so that locally created content does not have to go over the backbone and can be distributed much more cost-effectively.

Qview was born out of a necessity to provide remote communities a cost-effective media-streaming platform to distribute their content without losing copyright control and ownership.
