BBC 5G Private Network - EBU Technology & Innovation Award 2023 winner

5G technology brings the prospect of higher bandwidths via mobile data links. Publicly available 5G mobile networks, however, are subject to unpredictable public demand and thus are currently too unreliable for professional content providers.
The BBC has created and used a private 5G network in the UK that has the quality and reliability needed. The network can be deployed where needed and has been used successfully for news contributions at national events such as The Coronation, which involved multiple crews, a large aggregate number of cameras, and video signals in UHDTV.
