Abstract

Wireless cameras for news contribution feeds regularly use “bonded-cellular” devices, which connect to and split the encoded video across multiple public mobile network SIMs. However, in high demand density environments with large crowds, the public networks can quickly become saturated and unable to sustain the necessary bitrates to support high-definition video. To overcome this and provide uncontested wireless connectivity, the largest pop-up 5G standalone non-public (private) network of its type was deployed outside Buckingham Palace and along The Mall to Admiralty Arch to support news contributions for domestic and foreign broadcasters at the Coronation of HM King Charles III, without changing the contribution workflow.
