Trilogy NextGen, a leader in private cellular broadband, broadcast and cloud convergence, unveiled a private 5G network deployment at the new Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) studio in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The Trilogy NextGen private 5G network delivers secure, seamless, high-speed connectivity over Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum throughout the broadcasting facility, powered by Microsoft Azure private multi-access edge compute (MEC) and the Ericsson 5G Radio Dot System.
TBN’s state-of-the-art broadcast center will be capable of hosting up to 20 different live and recorded broadcasts at any given time. By fully integrating a private 5G edge network and 5G-enabled cameras throughout the 215,000-square-foot facility, Trilogy NextGen enabled wireless capture of digital content with near real-time latency, reliable mobile communications for production crews, and mission-critical security operations for their staff and emergency personnel.
The broadcast center also has attracted a new media network tenant, Merit Street Media™ from acclaimed television personality Dr. Phil McGraw.
“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, Trilogy NextGen. “This next-generation 5G network powered by the edge compute capabilities of Microsoft Azure eliminates the constraints of wires and cables that limit creativity, reinventing the world of film and television.”
“As the new home for many of TBN’s most popular news and entertainment programs, as well as ‘Dr. Phil Primetime’ and Merit Street Media, it was essential to create a facility that delivers the ultimate state-of-the-art experience,” said Russell Hall, senior vice president of production, TBN. “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.”
