Backbone Broadcast

Backbone Broadcast develops cloud-native audio infrastructure for sports, media, and live event environments. At NAB26, we are showcasing a deterministic, ultra-low latency, multi-channel in-venue audio architecture that delivers synchronized play-by-play, descriptive audio, and auxiliary feeds directly to audience smartphones via bonded Wi-Fi and cellular networks—without dedicated hardware or RF distribution systems. Our platform operates on the physical connectivity infrastructure you already have—whether recently upgraded or legacy Wi-Fi and 4G/5G deployments—because the system is architected in the cloud, not in the venue. Built on a microservices-based architecture with a broadcast-informed timing model designed for synchronized delivery at scale, the platform maintains consistent audience experiences across large device populations inside physical venues. Beyond in-venue delivery, the same infrastructure powers remote production, station automation, multi-location collaboration,
