Based in Australia, Silver Trak Digital specializes in providing innovative software and cloud-based distribution services to content owners and media companies. Silver Trak Digital, which has previously operated as a post-production business, has decided to enter the live streaming market to stream live events such as The Australian Ballet to cinemas across Australia. However, this required a reliable, high-speed wireless 5G connection to handle the transfer of bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive live content.
Silver Trak Digital partnered with Telstra Broadcast Services, Australia’s largest telecommunications company, to implement Cradlepoint’s NetCloud service and 5G wideband indoor and outdoor adapters to provide connectivity to the Telstra 5G network. This allows movie theaters to stream and project live events to audiences as part of Silver Trak Digital’s Cinema Direct content distribution service.
Rather than relying on a local provider’s wired service on a shared network, Silver Trak Digital can connect to Telstra’s 5G network using Cradlepoint’s adapters, which deliver high-speed connections of up to 1 Gbps. This allows live productions to be effectively delivered to movie theaters with the high bandwidth, low latency requirements of 4K video streaming, allowing viewers to watch events up close at a theater near them.

“5G solutions are very easy to install compared to running hundreds of meters of cable under the floor of a cinema, so not only the connectivity, but the speed you get from it, is definitely second to none in Australia. No one else can do it,” said Tim Creswell, CEO of Silver Trak Digital.
In addition to live streaming, Silver Trak Digital can also use 5G to digitally deliver pre-recorded, highly protected content to movie theaters. This minimizes the use of physical hard drives for sharing blockbuster movie files.
Silver Trak Digital can effectively monitor data and performance across all your sites in real-time with NetCloud Manager, which provides clear visibility into your network from anywhere. With NetCloud, Silver Trak Digital can quickly address issues remotely, eliminating the need for on-site troubleshooting.
