Open Broadcast Systems Launches 5G Assist To Enhance Remote Production Over Public Internet

Open Broadcast Systems, a leader in low-latency encoding and decoding, has released 5G Assist to enhance remote production over the public internet.

5G Assist uses a supplementary network, such as 5G or Starlink, alongside the main internet connection, to perform packet recoveries, in addition to recovery attempts performed over the main connection. Using 5G Assist, broadcasters can reduce packet loss and lower overall latency in their remote productions when using the public internet.

5G Assist technology is available immediately in Open Broadcast Systems low-latency, software-based encoders and decoders, which can be used to deliver premium video content over any network.
