PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 5, 2026--
NEP Americas, part of NEP Group, today announced the expansion of its end-to-end solutions for media companies with new scalable, IP-based flypack production kits deployed from the U.S. and available to customers around the world.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261105741356/en/
Following a successful summer supporting host broadcasters at two major international sporting events, these flypacks are now part of NEP’s full range of end-to-end solutions supporting customers every day. NEP’s flypacks provide the same capabilities as its industry-leading mobile units and are used on remote productions when bringing a full mobile unit onsite is impractical.
Powered by NEP’s TFC broadcast control system, the flypack kits can work as independent systems, combine with each other or pair with any NEP dynamic facility to scale to meet the needs of productions of any size. They incorporate the technology to support all formats, including 1080p, HDR and 4K.
“We continue to look for new ways to give our customers flexible resources that adapt to the needs of their productions, and these new flypack systems are a great example of this,” said Howie Rosenthal, Chief Commercial Officer for NEP Americas.
“They were tested and proven on two of the largest international sporting events this summer, helping host broadcasters reach audiences in the millions. Now, they’re available to be deployed on live productions of every size and scale, whether it’s an everyday regional production or another global event. We’re excited to continue to expand the remote production capabilities we’re providing to our partners in the Americas and beyond.”
Advancing Software-Defined Production Through Global Connected Solutions
NEP’s flypack kits are designed with the ability to incorporate NEP Platform, the industry’s largest ecosystem of trusted software applications for media production.
During a major international sporting event in August, the flypacks used NEP Platform to deploy Riedel's SimplyLive solution for vision mixing, replay and multiviewing capabilities, orchestrating software applications alongside traditional hardware-based tools. NEP Platform gives media companies greater choice and control over how they build smarter and leaner production workflows.
The flypacks also use TFC, NEP’s broadcast control system, to enable operators, engineers and technical teams to manage IT and network environments from a single system. They also tie into NEP’s Connected Solutions facilities, including NEP’s Dallas Datacenter and South Florida Production Hub, and can connect with NEP’s global hubs.
“Our ability to combine these systems, pair them with other NEP facilities, and easily incorporate added software capabilities through NEP Platform, gives us new ways to provide dynamic, forward-looking solutions that can adapt to meet the needs of any production,” Rosenthal said.
NEP’s global ecosystem of media services supports customers from capture through distribution. In addition to flypacks and mobile units, NEP provides a complete end-to-end suite of solutions, including specialty cameras and RF solutions; equipment rentals; connectivity and transmission; production services, multi-language and alternate feed production; ad insertion; and distribution—delivering scalable solutions tailored to each production.

NAVAHERMOSA, Spain (AP) — Spain's national soccer coach and the president of Real Madrid joined the family and teammates of Jesús de Miguel on Thursday at his funeral after the Spanish player died following an on-field collision.
The 30-year-old De Miguel died on Tuesday, a day after he suffered cardiac arrest following a collision with an opposing goalkeeper during a second-division game.
De Miguel's Tenerife teammates traveled from the Canary Islands and were among the hundreds who attended the funeral.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and the president of the Spanish soccer federation were also there.
“It is with deep sorrow and genuine emotion that we offer our condolences and our respect,” De la Fuente told reporters before the service. “It is the best way to show that the soccer community stands united, by sending a very warm embrace to all his loved ones.”
The funeral car draped with floral arrangements arrived slowly to the church in the town of Navahermosa in central Spain. Dozens of people walked behind, with several carrying candles. After the funeral mass, pallbearers carried De Miguel to the local cemetery.
His parents were reportedly born in Navahermosa, less than two hours south of Madrid. The town of some 3,000 inhabitants declared three days of mourning with flags at half mast at the town hall. De Miguel was born in Madrid. He spent his playing career in lower-tier Spanish clubs before helping Tenerife earn promotion to the second division last year.
His family issued a statement thanking all those who expressed their condolences, while also asking for their privacy to be respected.
“We need to mourn with the tranquility that this situation requires,” the family statement read. “Jesús leaves a void that is impossible to fill, but also an immense memory in all of us who were fortunate enough to share our lives with him.”
On Monday, De Miguel was not looking when Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono crashed into him while disputing a high ball late in the game. De Miguel collapsed to the turf. Medical workers attended to him for five minutes before carrying him to an ambulance.
Owono has expressed his remorse for the incident and offered his condolences to De Miguel’s family, which includes his wife and 1-year-old daughter.
Spain’s National Police have opened an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter — a standard procedure for a non-natural death. Investigators are expected to assess whether Owono’s challenge went beyond the normal course of play.
His rare death resulting from an impact in a game has stunned the world of soccer. Messages of condolences poured in from European clubs and tributes were dedicated to De Miguel during this week's Champions League games.
