Our team were honoured at the 2023 IBC Accelerator Kickstart Day yesterday, when we were presented with the 2022 IBC Accelerator Project of the Year Award for our contributions to the 5G Remote Production in the Middle of Nowhere project. Neutral Wireless team members Robert Stewart, Malcolm Brew, and Samuel Yoffe were present to accept the award at the IET Savoy Place, along with representatives from our project partners.

This was a collaborative, global project that saw Neutral Wireless deploying our Lomond 5G Standalone Network-In-a-Box solution in several countries across several continents to prove the feasibility of 5G-enabled remote production for live broadcasts. With the help of our fellow project champions, participants, and production partners (as well as the local communities), Neutral Wireless facilitated live, high-definition broadcasts with multiple connected cameras in Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, and the Scottish Highlands.

Given the success of the project, we think it’s now fair to say that 5G can positively disrupt traditional broadcasting workflows. Private 5G has come of age in media broadcast.
