verizon lte for football broadcast

S

stephend2

Anyone using verizon lte?

First night out with it, so far it looks like they are dropping streaming at 1 hour exactly. had to manually reconnect. Using audiocompass with 44.1 aptx codec.

I'm currently pestering sam to provide an auto reconnect function. Luckily we have a POTS line at this field for backup, don't always have that luxury.

In town, on 3g evdo rev a, I left the software up for 3 days without dropping. Seeing drops at exactly 1 hour intervals on lte. Also noticed that on 3g we get a public routable ip address, lte gives private address through NAT which does not set well with me. It seems to be working alright but I don't like to go through any NAT we don't have to. We have a card from cspire (local provider in MS) that is NAT as well, always have trouble with it.

Next week I'm going to try skype again, there's another station in town using it with good results this year.
 
I'm not sure if Verizon uses a proxy in the internet settings of Android, but if they do, and you're using Android, most phones have codes you can enter to access those "hidden" menus, and remove the proxy. If that's the case, that *might* solve your problem.

Someone from iOS Land feel free to chime in.
 
I have not noticed that when tethering, but we have had LTE up here a little longer, so more bugs may be worked out.

I would suggest a few things:

1. Use Skype (which I know you are going to try)

2. Get a cheap Android phone, root it, install 4.1.1 Android with Free Tether and use it to connect. I have held a connection that way for days on my Galaxy Nexus tethered to my Macbook.

3. Have the broadcasters disconnect/reconnect once an hour during the local spot set.
 
Using Verizon LTE with a Comrex Access here, with two football games lined up today. I'll keep an eye on it and see if anything strange happens.
 
have the broadcasters disconnect and reconnect...ha! they dont even know when they drop off and can't be bothered to notice. Luckily last night we had a POTS line up to fall back on...

first time out with verizon LTE usb stick, new acer netbook, windows xp, little atom just doesnt run 7 good enough...

The computers are solid and have been since last year when they were purchased.

was able to verify the drop only happening on LTE, back in Vicksburg on evdo, it doesn't drop. Luckily, we're at home for the next few games, have ethernet jack in pressbox there, school sitting on 100mb fiber.
 
we have one that we just replaced with the lte model. Thought being that lte would be more stable. 3g is a crapshoot anywhere you go due to capacity constraints. My latest experiment is going to be to encapsulate all our traffic in an encrypted tunnel over lte, I've had to do that on some school networks that screw with any streaming. put it in a VPN tunnel and all the problems go away. We like the speed and latency of LTE so far, was able to run 44.1 aptx over it with very few errors then it just drops at exactly 1 hour... What's funny is my logmein session never had a problem any time it dropped, it was only the audio stream.

I haven't been able to duplicate this problem. We had hours of trouble free audio on Saturday over Verizon LTE in the Dayton, Ohio area.
Aside from location, the only difference aside from the Comrex is that we are using the MiFi 2200 portable hotspot instead of a USB device. We went with the hotspot so we didn't have to worry about driver issues with the Comrex support for the USB sticks.

The MiFi does give out a private address to our Comrex since it can connect up to 5 clients. So far that hasn't proven to be a problem. We do use the traversal service though.
