Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation Patents the Next Generation of Broadcasting

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation has filed for 8 new patents supplementing the existing broadcasting patents they already have. By doing so, Ubiquity strengthens its already notable patented broadcasting technologies, and will allow UBC to change the way the world views live broadcasts and simulcasts over the internet, television, and mobile devices.

Ubiquity will debut the next generation of broadcasting while working with Time Warner Oceanic Cable to broadcast the Sponsor Me Hawaii Ala Moana Bowls contest June 14-26, 2010. Ubiquity will provide broadcasters with a direct IP stream eliminating the need for expensive satellite trucks, production equipment, production staff, and costly fixed fiber drops, termed an IP backhaul. By using an IP backhaul, broadcasters are afforded the flexibility and mobility needed to deliver a cost effective HD broadcast and simulcast to the internet, television, and mobile media devices. The 2010 Sponsor Me Hawaii Ala Moana Bowls Contest will be the world's first action sports contest to use an IP Backhaul. Ubiquity will broadcast the contest live June 14-26 on Time Warner Oceanic Cable, on the internet at sponsorme.tv and surf.transworld.net, on Apple's iPad and iPhone, and on other mobile devices.

Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation's 6 time Emmy award winning producer Stephen Jacobs says, "Ubiquity is at the forefront of broadcasting technology, and has arrived at the intersection of capabilities and opportunities.  It's a very exciting time to be here."  The next generation of broadcasting is here.

Founder of Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation Chris Carmichael said, "After working on this for 9 years, the technology has finally caught up with reality."

"Our vision is finally coming to fruition after 9 years of hard work and dedication," adds co-founder Connie Jordan.

Ubiquity's Director of live webcasts, Daniel Swiney, who has done over 100 live broadcasts, said, "The pre-tests of the Sponsor Me Hawaii Ala Moana Bowls contest have gone extremely well. We are ready."

The 8 new patents UBC has filed for will complement an already impressive portfolio of patents and trademarks that Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation currently holds. UBC will bring the next generation of broadcasting and technology to life by broadcasting live events in HD simultaneously to the internet, television, and mobile devices.

Ala Moana Bowls

Ala Moana has starred in over 30 surf videos including "Endless Summer" and "Tales of the Seven Seas" which includes a scene that perfectly characterizes the spot - massive tubes, boards flying, ruthless drop-ins, and the climactic conclusion of a catamaran being capsized by a cleanup set.  One of the best places to surf in Hawaii, Ala Moana Bowls is a popular spot on Oahu. It's an exposed reef break with consistent surf. This left-hand reef break is the symbol of great South Shore waves. Packed and very competitive, it's virtually reserved for locals who know how to surf inside the bowl. Ala Moana is a long wave with a few different tube sections and a range of takeoff spots. The bowl is just that-an inside-out section halfway in that forms between the Ala Moana boating channel and the Pacific Ocean. It holds waves of 4 to 12 feet. The takeoff is steep and fast; getting caught behind is risky. It's most ideal when a south swell detonates on the initial bowl section. The water next to the reef has been dredged for the harbor so the swells are unique. Ala Moana Bowls is at its best in summertime due to the south swells that provide the surfing community a much needed opportunity to win valuable WQS points at home breaks. These points will count towards qualification for the 2010 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and the 2010 elite World Championship Tour.
