Neos Networks announced an extended partnership with NEP Connect to deliver high-capacity, low-latency fibre connectivity for live Premier League broadcasts in the 2025/26 season.
Designed to meet the demands of live sports broadcasting, Neos is supporting NEP’s transition from satellite trucks to remote production hubs across all 20 Premier League stadiums.
The UK’s leading dedicated B2B network provider, Neos Networks, has been selected by NEP Connect, a leading provider of global connectivity solutions for broadcast and live events, to provide high-capacity, low latency fibre connectivity in support of the delivery of live Premier League broadcasting for the 2025-26 season in a new long term agreement.
The new agreement extends a seven-year relationship between the two organisations, which has seen Neos support NEP’s transition from satellite-based production to resilient, fibre-first connectivity. With Neos Networks fibre backhaul already in place across all 20 Premier League stadiums, the company was uniquely positioned to support NEP's rapid mobilisation ahead of the upcoming season.
The fibre infrastructure will enable the live transport of high-definition broadcast feeds to NEP’s remote production hubs, reducing the need for on-site trucks and personnel, while maintaining the broadcast quality and resilience demanded by top-tier sport.
The shift to remote production has raised the bar for live broadcast delivery, with full-HD 1080p now the standard across major events. This demands significantly increased bandwidth and ultra-low latency connections to ensure flawless picture quality in real-time. Additionally, the growing use of multiple camera angles, including aerial drone footage, 360-degree views, and on-field close-ups, has enhanced the immersive experience for fans watching at home or on mobile devices. Meeting these requirements means building network infrastructure that can handle not only larger data volumes, but also the complex routing and synchronisation of multiple high-bandwidth video feeds - capabilities that Neos Networks is uniquely equipped to provide in partnership with NEP Connect.
Underpinned by Neos Network’s UK-wide network, the connectivity being provided also includes geographically diverse circuits to ensure maximum uptime, once again supporting NEP’s commitment to delivering uninterrupted coverage across multiple platforms.
