Collaborative project scores win for building the world's
largest pop-up 5G standalone non-public network for live broadcast
contributions
MONTREAL, Sept. 21,
2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Haivision (TSX: HAI), a
leading global provider of mission-critical, real-time video
networking and visual collaboration solutions, today announced that
the company has received an IBC Innovation Award as a technology
partner in the collaborative 5G project led by the BBC for coverage
of the Coronation of HM King Charles III.
It's a great honor to be recognized by IBC
with this prestigious award. For nearly two decades, Haivision has
been at the forefront of live video contribution technology for the
broadcast industry and we continue to play an active role in the
industry's technological transformation.
The BBC and its technology partners, including Haivision, were
this year's winners in the content creation category for the
world's largest pop-up 5G standalone non-public network for live
broadcast contributions using shared spectrum, deployed for the
Coronation.
To address the challenge of competing for bandwidth on 5G public
networks for live contribution from correspondents on the ground
during the Coronation, a team led by the BBC, set up a temporary
non-public 5G network to provide uncontested connectivity from
Buckingham Palace along the Mall to Admiralty Arch. Once deployed,
the network, designed and built by Neutral Wireless, was leveraged
by 20 international broadcast outlets to provide reliable, low
latency connectivity to around 60 devices, including Haivision Pro
mobile video transmitters and the Haivision StreamHub receiver.
Each year the IBC Innovation Awards celebrate groundbreaking
initiatives transforming the media industry landscape, honoring
collaborative efforts to create fresh solutions that address
real-world challenges. The awards recognize the high level of
innovation and expertise achieved through partnerships and between
both technology supplier and users.
"It's a great honor to be recognized by IBC with this
prestigious award. For nearly two decades, Haivision has been at
the forefront of live video contribution technology for the
broadcast industry and we continue to play an active role in the
industry's technological transformation," said Mirko Wicha, CEO and President of Haivision.
"This recognition is a testament to both our market leading
solutions and our collaborative efforts with partners to
effectively address the demand for live video contribution over
5G."
In addition, Haivision's next-generation Pro460 mobile video
transmitter used during the Coronation won in this year's Best of
Show awards at IBC2023 in the TVBEurope category. The Haivision
Pro460 transmits multi-camera HD and pristine 4K UHD video, including in HDR, at low latency
over 4G/5G networks for live broadcast contribution and remote
production.
