Teradek Bond 659 AVC Backpack with 4x Node II Modules, V-Mount

Product Overview

The Teradek Bond 659 AVC Backpack with 4x Node II Modules (V-Mount) is a professional bonded cellular video encoder designed for live streaming HD and SD video from any location with cellular coverage. The Bond 659 aggregates up to four LTE connections simultaneously via the included Node II modem modules, delivering reliable uplink bandwidth for live news, sports, and event streaming from locations where traditional broadcast infrastructure is unavailable. The V-Mount battery plate powers the unit in the field for extended untethered operation.

Product Description

The Bond 659 AVC Backpack encodes H.264 AVC video up to 1080p60 from 3G-SDI or HDMI sources and streams via bonded cellular, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet simultaneously using Teradek’s BGAN (Bonded Global Area Network) protocol. The four included Node II LTE modem modules plug into the unit’s USB ports and connect to cellular networks to pool uplink bandwidth, providing greater reliability and throughput than a single LTE connection. The integrated V-Mount battery plate powers the unit on standard professional batteries for extended field deployment without DC cabling.

Teradek Core cloud management provides remote monitoring, stream management, and configuration from any connected device, enabling technical directors and engineers to manage field encoders from broadcast control rooms. The Bond 659 is compatible with standard RTMP and SRT streaming destinations, and integrates with content delivery networks and broadcast contribution platforms.
