Powering Live Global Sports Coverage
RTL Deutschland, Germany’s leading entertainment company and exclusive free to air broadcast rights holder for the NFL, utilizes a blend of LTN and Lumen technologies to remotely produce the Super Bowl and the country’s biggest live events throughout the NFL season. Using Vyvx’s low-latency connectivity, RTL successfully managed the remote production of Super Bowl LIX.
