How Feld Entertainment transformed live broadcasting with cutting-edge connectivity

Who is Feld Entertainment?

Feld Entertainment is the worldwide leader in producing and presenting live touring family entertainment experiences. Across 75 countries and six continents, Feld delivers live spectacles ranging from Monster Jam to Disney on Ice.

Key Points

Feld Entertainment maximizes production value by relying on teams of experts creating video clips in real time. But creating them, communicating with other team members and other venues, and transmitting large files presents a massive networking challenge, both from a bandwidth, latency, and reliability perspective. The distances are huge, so a wired infrastructure is impractical, and they have tens of thousands of spectators consuming precious cellular bandwidth.

  • Guaranteed 4G/5G Coverage

    Indoor/Outdoor connectivity beyond reach of public networks

  • Private Cellular Network

    Replaces commercial wireless networks and Wi-Fi

  • Secure and Full Control

    Manages users and gives priority to certain applications

  • No Interference

    Dedicated shared spectrum with CBRS ignores spectators’ devices

  • Capacity

    Seamless, uninterrupted comms without network congestion

Challenges
  • Delayed Video Editing

    Lags and drops in communication resulted in the production of time sensitive video clips being delayed

  • Poor Team Communication

    Unreliable bandwidth delayed communication between team members, where every second counts

  • Slow Video Downloads

    Shared bandwidth resulted in poor download speeds of high-quality video clips while filming and were

  • Slow and Intermittent Venue to Venue Communications

    In addition to poor comms within a venue, some events involve multiple venues.
