Major broadcasters leverage on-demand mobile
private networking to bring RNC & DNC convention coverage to
global audiences
HACKENSACK, N.J., July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The race to the US Presidential
Election continues to heat up further this summer with the recent
Republican National Convention this week in Wisconsin and the Democratic National
Convention scheduled for August. LiveU, in collaboration with
private wireless network orchestration and management software
company, Pente Networks, launched LiveU Private Connectivity, which
gave major news broadcasters access to private network connectivity
inside the RNC at the Fiserv Forum and allowed the world to
participate more closely in one of the largest political events of
the year.
"Providing a private cellular network solution for major
broadcasters covering the RNC and DNC adds a robust and reliable
connection to the bonding mix, avoiding public network congestion
and the instability of WiFi in the convention arenas," said
Dan Pisarski, LiveU CTO. "In
addition, private cellular networks give us another layer of
service for our customers – network segmentation, prioritization
and greater security – while providing additional capacity for
expanded remote production technologies and employee
communications."
As part of its LiveU IP-video EcoSystem of solutions, services,
and integrations such as with Pente Networks, LiveU has made it
simple to secure the network and deploy a robust connection for
broadcasters. At the core of LiveU's EcoSystem is its LiveU
Reliable Transport (LRT™), the leading IP-video transport protocol
designed for wireless networks, giving rock steady reliability.
"Having the ad hoc private mobile network solution means we can
provide this service almost anywhere, and deploy it quickly, giving
our customers new creative options as they share the stories of the
day," added Pisarski.
How it Works
Pente's orchestration solution
streamlines the provisioning of ad-hoc private mobile networks,
seamlessly handling the nuances required to ensure resilient and
reliable broadcast quality connectivity from challenging
environments like densely populated convention arenas. The LiveU
Private Connectivity solution uses innovative radio and switching
configurations to deliver total freedom of camera movement and
placement within the locations.
LiveU's longstanding history supporting high-profile
events
LiveU has supported broadcasters in their
coverage of high-profile elections for nearly 18 years. For the
RNC, LiveU provided on-the-ground technical support, rentals, and
connectivity to ensure reliable, high-quality, and uninterrupted
coverage. LiveU Private Connectivity proved so popular with major
broadcasters that the initial offering was fully booked within a
few days of announcing the solution.
"We expect this US Presidential Election to break records for
the amount of continuous simultaneous live transmissions," said
Pisarski.
