Live streaming a total success
Last night saw the first live usage of the mobile audio streaming rig I have put together, this consists of two laptops, one CDMA phone and another phone using a GPRS EDGE connection. The CDMA is used for the upstream and the less reliable GPRS to monitor the downstream.
I streamed 9 hours of dance music from the Temporary Insanity party here on Koh Phangan. Not a single problem was encountered, everything worked fantastically. I will definitely be doing this again, it was good fun and a first for the island.
The next challenge is live streaming video, although I have no idea how I would find enough portable bandwidth to achieve it. Maybe if I could multilink GPRS connections it might work but I have a feeling none of the GPRS providers here would allow it.
