What goes into producing the highest levels of professional golf coverage, a sport where hundreds of moments of impact taking place across a vast landscape need to be captured to accurately tell the story and entertain fans everywhere?

A lot - and specifically, A LOT of cameras!

Another element of the production, Radio Frequency (RF) technology is crucial for live broadcasts as it enables wireless communication between multiple cameras and the connected compound, even over large distances. This ensures that high-quality, real-time video feeds are reliably transmitted without signal loss or latency.

From Pebble Beach, to Torrey Pines to Riviera, the Florida swing, the playoff sites and everywhere in between, NEP’s wireless transmission experts tour the country’s top courses supporting rights holders and broadcasters who are delivering all the action to screens everywhere.

As the operations manager overseeing NEP’s RF solutions for golf productions, Bob Weeks and his team are often some of the first people on the course each week preparing for the production, long before the first ball is struck.

“We're getting things ready for the production and making sure that the equipment is ready prior to when production needs it. They're looking to us to make sure that they have the confidence that they need to provide them with the equipment they want to have on show days.”
