Vitec has partnered with LG to deliver IPTV and digital signage over private 5G networks.
The strategic alliance, which pairs Vitec’s technology with LG’s private 5G network expertise, aims to deliver a “wire-like” experience for mission-critical enterprise video.
The solution enables IPTV and digital signage to be deployed without wired connections, allowing organisations to add screens without network drops, support portable or temporary installations, and extend existing systems to new indoor and outdoor areas without requiring costly cabling.
Key customer benefits of the integration include on-site core infrastructure, distributed antennas and centralised management software.
Private 5G networks are purpose-built, on-site cellular networks that operate on licensed spectrum, giving organisations greater control over performance, security and reliability.
Unlike Wi‑Fi, which operates on shared, unlicensed spectrum and can be affected by congestion or interference, private 5G networks provide a more consistent and predictable environment suited to real-time video applications.
‘Flexibility for large-scale venues’
Eli Garten, Vitec’s senior vice-president for global IPTV and partner solutions, said: “This combined solution gives large-scale venues flexibility to deploy IPTV and digital signage without the constraints of wired infrastructure.
“With video applications, performance has traditionally been a limiting factor over wireless networks. But with this new integrated solution, we can now confidently deliver the same low-latency streaming and reliability our customers expect from Vitec.”
Joon Sung Lee, head of private 5G in the LG chief technology officer’s office, said: “While private 5G is already being adopted across sectors such as manufacturing, transportation and healthcare, its use for enterprise video remains at an early stage.
“Now, together with Vitec, we are demonstrating how video can be delivered reliably over next-generation wireless networks.”
Vitec and LG will be teaming up to demonstrate the technology on booth C9257 at InfoComm 2026.
