Miri Technologies to make NAB Show debut with X510 network router
Miri Technologies is gearing up for its first-ever booth appearance at the NAB Show 2025 in Las Vegas. Exhibiting in NAB's 'Premiere Park' section, the company will highlight its X510 dual-cellular bonding network router, designed to provide robust, high-performance internet connectivity for live streaming, newsgathering and remote production. To enhance customer confidence, Miri is also introducing a 'Try Before You Buy' programme, allowing US customers to test the X510 in real-world environments before making a purchase.
In today's fast-paced media landscape, uninterrupted internet access is critical. However, many locations still struggle with service disruptions and inconsistent speeds, leading to lost revenue and missed opportunities. The Miri X510 router tackles these challenges by merging multiple wired and wireless connections—including 4G, 5G, Starlink and Wi-Fi—into a single, stable bonded link, ensuring seamless performance even in remote areas with weak network coverage.
At the core of the X510's performance is Speedify, a channel bonding solution developed by Connectify. The router supports up to seven direct connections, including integrated 5G/4G modems, Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi connectivity and USB support for external modems. Its automatic failover system ensures continuous internet access, even if one provider goes offline, while its ability to bond 4G LTE and 5G helps users navigate network congestion in crowded venues.
For those needing extra bandwidth, Miri's Speedify Pair & Share function enables connection sharing from up to 20 mobile devices, creating a total of 27 contributing links for internet resilience.
The X510 supports Miri's new NetConnect+ multi-carrier data plans, which intelligently switch between major carriers and regional networks as needed. Customers can also use their own SIM cards, offering greater flexibility for those with specific data contracts. This feature is particularly beneficial in high-density environments like press conferences, where multiple journalists may rely on the same networks.
Compact and adaptable, the X510 is suitable for rack mounting, desktop use or field deployment. Unlike video encoders that limit transmission to specific codecs or protocols, the X510 handles all types of data, from live streams to general file transfers. Additionally, built-in encryption secures traffic, allowing users to select preferred Speed Servers from global locations to optimize performance and meet data sovereignty requirements.
To help customers experience the X510 firsthand, Miri Technologies is rolling out a five-day trial programme for US users. Those who choose to purchase the router at the end of the trial will have their fee—minus shipping—credited toward their purchase. Customers can test the X510 using Miri's NetConnect+ data plans or their own SIM cards, ensuring the router meets their specific needs before committing to a purchase.
Ryan Brenneman, CTO of Miri Technologies, said: 'Customer reaction to the Miri X510 router has been tremendous, and we can't wait to showcase its unique advantages to NAB Show attendees in Las Vegas. The X510's ground-breaking feature set, purpose-built design and unmatched flexibility truly set it apart. We're positive that users will appreciate its benefits once they experience them first-hand, and our new 'Try Before You Buy' programme lets them do so in their own environment so they can purchase with confidence.'
The Miri X510 router is currently available in the United States and Australia, with expansion to additional global markets planned throughout 2025.

Starlink cut: users around the world report connectivity problems
Users of Starlink, the maker of internet connectivity devices and low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites, reported problems gaining access to the internet on Monday. It was the latest in a string of cuts for Elon Musk's SpaceX, which owns and operates Starlink. Downdetector, which reports global internet problems, confirmed that Starlink users around the world were having trouble with their devices. "You're not alone," Downdetector posted to its social media account. "Downdetecter users have been reporting problems since 5.35 GMT." NetBlocks, which tracks cybersecurity and digital governance, also confirmed a significant blackout. "The incident is the second observed in the last month," the organisation said. Starlink is the dominant player in LEO internet services, and has secured approval in various countries around the world to provide connectivity. It is not yet clear what caused the cut to services. Users on X, also owned by Mr Musk, responded to posts from Starlink with reports of not being able to connect. Starlink has not yet responded to The National 's requests for comment on this story. The company's standard antennae devices, which connect to its LEO satellites, weigh less than 3kg, contain no moving parts and can withstand strong winds. Unlike traditional communications satellites, which orbit Earth in the range of 20,000km to 35,000km, Starlink's thousands of satellites orbit at about 550km, increasing internet speeds and cutting back on latency. In contrast to 5G or broadband internet, the satellite version does not depend on mobile towers or high-speed data lines, making connection possible in remote areas.

SpaceX reportedly in advanced talks with Saudia for onboard WiFi
After Qatar Airways, Saudia, Saudi Arabia's flag carrier airline, could become the next Middle East airline to install SpaceX's Starlink internet service. According to a Bloomberg report, the Elon Musk-owned company is in advanced talks with Saudia to equip its fleet of more than 140 aircraft with its high-speed onboard wifi, according to people familiar with the talks. The wire agency had earlier reported that SpaceX was also in advanced talks with the Dubai-based Emirates, and said it is now in discussions with its sister carrier flydubai. Another person familiar told Bloomberg that the company has also pitched its services to Gulf Air, Bahrain's national carrier. Saudia, flydubai and Gulf Air did not respond to the agency's request for comments. The deals are not final and the airlines could decide to partner with other providers, the people cautioned. 'Securing partnerships with one of the biggest Middle Eastern carriers would represent a significant milestone for Starlink as it pushes further into the global market for in-flight connectivity and challenges established players like Viasat Inc.,' the report added. A deal with Saudia would give SpaceX a foothold in the Gulf's biggest economy, at a time when local rival Neo Space Group, owned by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, is working on establishing its own satellite-based in-flight service. Rossen Dimitrov, the Saudia chief guest experience officer who previously worked at Qatar Airways, wrote on LinkedIn that he recently visited the SpaceX industrial complex in Texas to learn 'about the exciting future they are bringing to aviation'. SpaceX markets its Starlink service to airlines through a subscription model similar to its consumer offering. Airlines face upfront hardware costs that amount to anywhere between US$300,000 and US$500,000, depending on the aircraft, in addition to a monthly fee for every seat, according to a document seen by Bloomberg News. Saudi's new airline Riyadh Air, set to start commercial operations by the end of the year, has partnered with Viasat. The report added that because Starlink isn't authorised for use in the UAE, any deal with the Emirates or flydubai would likely require a reversal of that policy. Earlier this year, Qatar Airways became the first carrier in the region to offer the service. The airline made Starlink available across the cabin of its Boeing 777 models, and the company has started retrofitting its Airbus A350 jets, with the 787 Dreamliners up next.
