Vislink has announced its 5G wireless camera technology has been featured in an innovative 5G private network trial taking place during the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Vislink is participating in the trial with BT Media and Broadcast and the BBC, who are trialling the standalone 5G private network for broadcast coverage of the Commonwealth Games. This represents the first time the cutting-edge technology has been deployed anywhere in Europe for an event on this scale. Vislink is providing its reliable, premium-quality, low latency mobile video connectivity technology for use during the trial.
By using Vislink Mobile Viewpoint UltraLink-Air 5G cellular encoders to enable wireless camera connectivity, camera operators can roam freely within the network area during the event, as opposed to relying on broadcast cameras that connect to the outside broadcast solely using radio (RF) signals that rely on proprietary equipment. This enables the delivery of smooth, uninterrupted video feeds, and the ability to interface directly into IP-based content delivery networks utilizing 5G internet connectivity.
