Broadcasting company Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) has partnered with Trilogy NextGen, Ericsson, and Microsoft to overhaul its studio operations using private 5G networking technology. The collaboration aims to improve production capabilities and adapt TBN’s infrastructure to support next-generation broadcast formats.
“In collaboration with TBN and Merit Street Media, Trilogy NextGen has unleashed the agility, speed, and security of private 5G networking to streamline and transform the broadcast studio of tomorrow,” said Parag Shah, president, of Trilogy NextGen.
The private network will run on Ericsson’s infrastructure and Microsoft Azure’s multi-access edge compute (MEC) and Ericsson’s 5G Radio Dot System., operating on the CBRS 3.5 GHz band. It is designed to enable wireless production workflows, remote collaboration, and new distribution methods for TBN’s faith-based programming.
“In today’s hyper-connected world, high-performing, secure indoor connectivity is an essential utility,” said David Green, vice president and key account manager, at Ericsson North America. “The system enables companies such as TBN to modernize and expand their operations in order to deliver use cases such as 5G video, security robots, digital intercoms, and push-to-talk through the use of indoor 5G networks.”
Russell Hall, senior vice president of production, at TBN, said, “Our partnership with Trilogy NextGen helps us invigorate the world of broadcasting, as we push the boundaries of content creation to inspire, inform, and uplift audiences around the world.”
