NEP Group has revealed an expansion of its connected production ecosystem with new facilities and new partnerships with rights holders, sports leagues, broadcasters and OTT providers.
The expansion includes successful support for partners such as the PGA TOUR, NASCAR and MLS in the United States, Dyn Sport in Germany, WRC in Finland, TV4 and the Swedish Hockey League in Sweden, and the International Press Center – Résidence Palace in Brussels, Belgium.
Key expansions over the last year include bringing nine new production hubs into North America, APAC and Europe, a new hub in Singapore, and expanding the Andrews Hubs in Australia and the VISTA Hub in South Florida
The ecosystem now includes 20 production hubs, 100 control rooms, 200 mobile units, and 100 flypacks worldwide, providing commentary, language services, alternate feed production, asset management, vertical production, studios, playouts and more, said the company.
Mike Werteen, president, NEP Americas and global chief commercial officer, said: “Our connected production solutions are complementary to NEP’s industry-leading fleet of mobile units and OBs, and our recent partnerships are great examples of this hybrid approach of serving our clients both onsite and remotely.
“From the new fleet of nine all-IP mobile units that debuted for the 2024 PGA TOUR season, to the connected production hubs established around the globe – we’re providing our clients with more production tools and flexibility to meet their needs, and we’re honoured to collaborate with their amazing teams to build the best production solutions for today and the future.”
