5G Support Initiated by Open Broadcast Systems
Open Broadcast Systems, a leading provider in the broadcast industry, has announced the launch of a new product: 5G Assist. This innovative technology is designed to revolutionize remote production over the public internet.
Kieran Kunhya, the Founder and CEO of Open Broadcast Systems, has expressed that 5G Assist is a game changer for remote production. The integration of this technology into their low-latency, software-based encoders and decoders offers several advantages in terms of flexibility and cost-efficiency for remote jobs.
One of the key benefits of 5G Assist is its ability to help broadcasters deliver premium video content over networks with potential issues, such as high latency or packet loss. By using a supplementary network, such as 5G or Starlink, alongside the main internet connection, it can potentially recover packets and lower overall latency in remote productions.
The integration of 5G Assist technology into Open Broadcast Systems' products may be seen as a strategic move to maintain competitiveness in the broadcast industry. With the ongoing competition in the satellite and cellular sectors, as evidenced by the developments in Starlink, AST SpaceMobile, and the US Cellular sector, this move is a response to the growing demand for premium video content.
Moreover, the use of 5G Assist can help broadcasters reduce packet loss in their remote jobs. It also performs packet recoveries in addition to recovery attempts performed over the main connection. This ensures a more reliable and high-quality remote production experience.
The integration of 5G Assist technology into Open Broadcast Systems' products may also be seen as a response to potential regulatory challenges. For instance, the halting of broadband direct-from-satellite in Pakistan and the stymieing of Starlink launch in India highlight the importance of having a robust and adaptable solution like 5G Assist.
In the broader context of the industry, companies like Ericsson, Vodafone, Tecnotree, and Rohde & Schwarz are also integrating advanced 5G technology with AI agents, network slicing, digital business support systems, and 5G technology testing to optimize low-latency operations and support low-latency encoding and decoding.
These encoders and decoders, powered by 5G Assist, can be used to deliver premium video content over any network. With this innovation, Open Broadcast Systems is set to redefine the standards of remote production, offering broadcasters the benefits of both public internet and low-latency remote jobs. The 5G Assist technology is immediately available for use.
