Advantages and Disadvantages of Cellular Bonding

Now that the technical workings have been explained I would like to look at the advantages and disadvantages of the technology because of how great it seems there are limitations to it. 

Advantages:

- Very cheap to run and access

- Portable and light weight

- It uses H.264 encoding which is well established

- Good in very populated areas

- Good for single man operations 

Disadvantages:

- Cars are being made instead of trucks, this allows you to still get where you want to go but also the cellular connection with be even more reliable. 

- The connection is good but it still isn't the most reliable way of broadcasting.

- 'Microwave' remote trucks can still do more, it's also rare that is technique hasn't worked and we can't broadcast. 

- Limited to areas that have good internet connection

- It has limited bandwidth, so for a big show it isn't going to work, for example football.

(Kovacs and Kovacs, 2018)

These are just some of the advantages and disadvantages of cellular bonding. In a way I feel they complement each other as even though it can't do what a truck does, it had very good advantages for productions on a small scale and budget. It's about taking this type of technology and using it an environment where it can thrive.If you put it in a situation where it is very likely to fail then it will.
