Our main story is talking about how a company has come up with a way to use streaming technology at the consumer level to provide world-class streaming live video with bonded cellular technology while on a trip, through tunnels, in the mountains, or anywhere that you'd have seclusion that you wouldn't be able to necessarily get your Internet traffic.

Nathan Mumm:

Mike is joining us. He is the Executive... Oh Mike, this is exciting-

Mike:

Jim is joining us. I'm Mike.

Nathan Mumm:

... as Jim is joining us. He's the Executive Vice President and CTO of VidOvation. So Jim Jachetta, thank you very much for joining the show today.

Speaker 1:

This is a segment we call Ask the Experts.

Nathan Mumm:

All right. As Jim comes on up, Jim, last time we talked, we geeked out on a few items, but today I want to talk about your technology solutions, streamlining in hard-to-reach places. People are always streaming for work, for pleasure, especially across the globe now with our remote work environment that we have. You need to have streaming services everywhere. If you're out in the middle of a mountain hike, you'd never know when you may have that Zoom call-

Mike:

Yeah, you need to pull on over and to pull off the trail and do a Zoom call.

Nathan Mumm:

That's right, okay, but what's really interesting is that Jim has some solutions that are out-of-the-box broadcast, professional-grade, and even to the high-end of major motion industrial. So Jim, welcome to the show.

Jim Jachetta:

Hey guys, how're you doing? Glad to be here.

Nathan Mumm:

Good, good, good.

Mike:

Hi Jim.

Nathan Mumm:

Jim, all right. Please explain to me first, some of the clients that you interact with your business. Let's give a rundown.

Jim Jachetta:

Yeah.

Nathan Mumm:

Who are your clients?

Jim Jachetta:

Yeah, our clients tend to be television stations, sports leagues. We're working with the PGA. We need to transmit live from golf courses in rural areas. We might do a bicycle race that goes out into the middle of a desert. We are doing quite a few, believe it or not, fishing tournaments.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay.

Jim Jachetta:

Some of these fishing tournaments end up on ESPN live, so it's hard to broadcast live from the middle of a lake where there's no... satellite is just not an option.

Nathan Mumm:

Yeah, I can vouch for that.

Mike:

Yeah.

Nathan Mumm:

Can you vouch for that?

Mike:

Yeah.

Nathan Mumm:

I can tell you the one thing about fishing is that when I go fishing I catch nothing, so forget Internet. I can't even catch the fish in the boat, so-

Mike:

Well, you're going for the wrong reason.

Nathan Mumm:

That's right, okay. All right. So Jim-

Jim Jachetta:

It's all about the drinking, right?

Nathan Mumm:

That's right. Well-

Mike:

That's right.

Nathan Mumm:

... if you have a nice whiskey out on the boat, then everything goes easier.

Mike:

You're catching something,
