Local ISP's Cutting Edge Service Delivers Live Streaming Capability for 'Biggest High-Tech Wedding in History'

KENWOOD, Calif., June 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday the Northbay's premier business class ISP, Vista Broadband Networks, Inc., powered the biggest high tech wedding of the year. The Knot's "Dream Wedding" was held at the picturesque estate of Chateau St Jean Winery in Sonoma County wine country. With the high-speed Internet provided by Vista the wedding was able to stream the event live on a global scale. The wedding was designed to showcase various cutting edge devices and Internet based technology, creating a high tech experience for everyone involved. Among others, the showcase included multiple drones, a mobile robotic camera, a robotic bartender, GoPro cameras, and discreet heart monitors to record the bride and groom's emotional states throughout the event.

With the 30 Mbps symmetrical Internet provided by Vista the event was seamlessly broadcasted live to an estimated 300,000 viewers worldwide. Three cameramen were on site delivering video feed over Vista's network to a live stream on TheKnot.com. The bride, groom and officiate of the ceremony all wore wireless microphones that delivered the audio for The Knot's live stream.

Anja Winikka, Site Director for The Knot commented, "It's important to have a wedding that reflects the couple. There are many useful technologies that we could highlight and showcase, but we wanted to focus on what mattered to the couple most, and what was most practical to the wedding." The Knot truly created a personalized experience for the couple when they brought in a robot by Double Robotics. The robot attended the ceremony in place of the bride's mother, who was ill and unable to attend in person. The robot delivered live video and audio feed to the mother who watched remotely nearly 500 miles away. The bride's mother was also able to control the movements of the robot, allowing her to feel as though she was right there with them.

The high-speed Internet circuit provided at the event is part of Vista's Event Services product, which is available to businesses all throughout the Northbay, even in remote locations. It features the ability to deliver high-speed Internet to a location for short-term use. This is a service that compliments the beautiful wine country and the various events that take place year-round. This service has also proven valuable for disaster recovery, or emergency circuit needs.

"I've worked with Vista in the past and was always impressed," said Mary Jo Dale, Chateau St Jean's Senior Brand Director. "I knew that we could rely on Vista to power this key event. They enabled the bride and groom to truly enjoy their dream wedding."

The high-speed circuit was delivered wirelessly via Vista's AirFiber network. This wireless connection backhauls into a fiber optic core that allows Vista to deliver fiber optic grade Internet at a fraction of the cost. Because it is delivered wirelessly Vista is able to reach remote locations, like Chateau St Jean, and deliver reliable high-speed circuits to those locations.
