Comcast Business Powers February’s Biggest Broadcast Events
February 13 2018 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Comcast Business has partnered with NBCUniversal to manage
critical components of the broadcast and digital transport for all
its broadcasts, including two of television’s biggest events, Super
Bowl LII and the 2018 Winter Olympics.
NBCUniversal’s broadcast facilities across the country are now
directly connected to Comcast Business’ next generation, advanced
network, enabling the broadcast of the company’s 24x7 content.
Comcast Business has also been strategically integrated into 29 NBC
and Telemundo-owned and operated stations, seamlessly integrating
broadcast and digital linear distribution, while supporting the
connectivity required to uplink the NBC network to more than 200
affiliate stations across the country. Comcast Business’ robust
network provides NBCUniversal with a fully diverse, end-to-end
service to ensure better reliability and control over the delivery
process.
“For our broadcast business, availability and reliability of
service are our foremost responsibilities,” said Ian Trombley,
President of NBCUniversal Operations and Technology. “Having a
reliable partner to help us deliver our broadcast networks,
including our most critical live events, is key – and Comcast
Business is that strategic partner.”
NBCUniversal leverages Comcast Business’ advanced Metro Ethernet
Services – specifically a secure 10 Gigabit Diverse Wave
infrastructure and 1G Diverse Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EvPL)
connection. Comcast Business’ Ethernet & Wave solutions deliver
a high-performance, secure connection between sites that serves as
a modern alternative to traditional TDM private lines, and older
packet technologies like Frame Relay. EvPL is ideal for
mission-critical, sensitive data applications as it allows users to
bypass the public Internet and securely transmit traffic over a
private connection, backed by a highly available, defined SLA.
"Comcast Business is proud to partner with NBCUniversal. We’ve
built a network with the performance and reliability to distribute
thousands of hours of broadcast and online content to millions of
homes across America everyday – ensuring viewers never miss a
moment,” said Bill Stemper, President of Comcast Business. “As the
size and scope of an event increase, so to do the stakes. We’re
uniquely aware of how critical speed and reliability are when
distributing broadcasts of this magnitude. That’s why we’re laser
focused on every aspect of their transport to ensure exceptional
service and a flawless viewing experience.”
