Tech types from broadcasters, streamers, leagues, vendors, and service providers attended the event devoted to contribution and distribution
With the FCC poised to repurpose another swath of C-Band spectrum and the industry fresh off a FIFA World Cup that tested transmission networks at continental scale, SVG’s annual TranSPORT conference returned to New York City on Oct. 20. More than 330 transmission-tech leaders from broadcasters, streamers, leagues, vendors, and service providers congregated at the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Katie Murphy Amphitheatre for a full day dedicated to contribution and distribution.
Presented by title sponsor PSSI Global Services, the event’s program spanned satellite and terrestrial backhaul, LEO satellite, IP and cloud transport, bonded cellular, 5G, compression standards, emerging protocols like RIST (Reliable Internet Stream Transport) and Media over QUIC (a transport layer network protocol), and the connectivity demands of REMI and decentralized production.

Doing More With Less — and Picking the Right Pipe
The afternoon opened with a look at the other end of the budget spectrum. On a panel on cost-effective transport for smaller-scale productions, speakers from CP Communications/Red House Streaming/RHStv, Ross Production Services, Eluvio, and The Weather Channel compared bonded cellular, SRT-based workflows, and cloud transport as ways to meet rising quality expectations without an unlimited transmission budget.
Kuchta then moderated a discussion on matching transport to the job. Callahan joined experts from BBright, LiveU, and PSSI to walk through their current mix of public internet, bonded cellular, dedicated fiber, satellite, and emerging options. The discussion covered when each fits, how to combine them, and which factors should drive the decision.
