Outside Broadcast Network

August 31st, 2010

You may already know that we operate the Island’s largest fixed wireless IP network, but did you know it does more than just deliver super fast broadband? Our network was built to deliver 100 MBit/s+ bandwidths with the lowest possible latency and jitter. This makes it ideal for the outside broadcast needs of the Island’s radio stations and HD studio links for visiting media crews.

Outside Broadcast NSC

I am pleased to report that we have successfully completed a series of 6 live broadcasts this weekend with 3FM. The broadcasts were delivered in ultra-wideband format with less than 100ms latency end to end including MPEG encoding overheads (this adds around 40 – 60ms in itself).

We expect to see rapid growth in this area over the coming months and we’re certainly excited to be involved.

Very best,

Stuart Baggs
