Summary

Low-latency, high-quality professional audio transmission over 5G is quickly becoming a reality, making 5G a viable technology for live musical performances.

Nowadays musicians at large-scale professional events require a streaming latency of below 4 milliseconds from a microphone to an in-ear monitoring system to minimize audio delay. A lot needs to happen within those 4ms. Besides audio processing time, the system needs to account for both directions of the wireless transmission. That means each separate data steam must be transmitted in under 1ms. 

Nokia and Sennheiser research teams have examined the problem of latency when using a wireless IP network for transmission of isochronous audio data within a professional production environment. During the webinar we will present the results of Nokia’s and Sennheiser’s testbed, which shows that 5G is capable of meeting the strict latency requirements of audio Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE). Today, there is no such standardized wireless technology on the market. Therefore, there is high interest in whether 5G will fulfil this need.

Learn about the new opportunities that the 5G can offer for the entertainment and media industry with the ultra-reliable and low-latency audio transmission
