Mobile Broadcast
Broadcasting doesn’t just happen in studios. It happens anywhere news breaks, events unfold or stories demand to be told live
News doesn’t wait for a studio. Mobile broadcast operations rely on fast, secure connections that stand up to weather, crowds and unpredictable conditions. Inside a mobile unit, every camera, switcher, monitor and uplink depends on reliable, interference-free signal flow. Our high-frequency connectors, adapters and cable assemblies keep those signals clean and stable, no matter how often gear is set up, broken down or repositioned on the fly.
Even small-scale live streaming now plays a big role in mobile production. Reporters, influencers and content creators use mobile phones and portable rigs to deliver real-time video that demands the same level of quality and dependability as traditional setups. Our BNC series enable secure wireless links, smooth data transmission and clear audio, helping turn everyday devices into powerful broadcast tools.
Behind Every On-the-Go Story Is a Network That Never Stops
Field crews rely on secure wireless connections and high-bandwidth pathways to manage multiple feeds, monitor live signals and deliver content to audiences instantly. Inside a mobile broadcast van or OB truck, our rugged interconnects keep cameras, switchers, monitors and satellite uplinks connected and running without a hitch, even when teams need to set up, break down and move fast between locations.
Whether on busy city streets or at remote event sites, mobile broadcast vehicles serve as fully equipped studios on wheels. Every connector contributes to keeping signals clear and consistent. Our solutions help production teams cover long distances with steady transmission and minimal signal loss, ensuring content reaches control centers or the cloud without delay.
Drawing on decades of RF experience, we work closely with broadcast equipment manufacturers and operators to create interconnects that stand up to the demands of life on the move.
