AirNow!™, manufactured by Bitcentral, Inc., a leading provider of news production, archiving and distribution solutions to television stations, is the recipient of the 2008 STAR (Superior Technology Award Recipient) Award presented by the editorial staff of TV Technology magazine at the NAB2008 convention.

AirNow! is Bitcentral's latest innovation designed to equip news-producing television stations with solutions that untether journalists from their desks. Leveraging extremely efficient streaming video codecs, affordable hardware components and ever-expanding cellular data networks, AirNow! is a cost-effective means of delivering broadcast-quality, low-latency, live video from the field.

"News doesn't happen inside a television station, it happens in the field – and you have to be ready to send and receive news content anytime, anywhere," states Fred Fourcher, President and CEO of Bitcentral. "AirNow! is a great complement to our other mobile-journalist solutions. A journalist can now easily contribute live streams or edited packages from the field to their production system; pull content from their station archive or even their sister station's archive; and have all of the creative tools they'd have in the station…right in their backpack."
