Backbone Broadcast to Meet with Venues and Integrators at NAB Show 2026 on Real-Time Venue Audio Infrastructure

Backbone’s cloud-native Virtual Audio Backbone architecture debuts for sports venues and live event environments requiring synchronized, real-time audio.

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Backbone Broadcast will meet with venues, universities, broadcasters, rights holders, and systems integrators at NAB Show 2026 to discuss the rollout of SoundSystem Live™, the real-time, cloud-native, ultra-low-latency in-venue delivery layer of the Virtual Audio Backbone. With the architecture proven in live operation, the company is now focused on broader deployment.

SoundSystem Live—a joint development of Backbone Broadcast and Technica Del Arte, NL—delivers synchronized audio directly to fans on their own smartphones, with no headsets, lanyards, or special devices to hand out. Running on bonded 5G and venue Wi-Fi, it supports multiple simultaneous channels, including play-by-play, alternate commentary, descriptive audio, multilingual audio, and remote contribution workflows.

The platform can be deployed as an initial single-channel service or expanded into a broader multi-channel framework, allowing organizations to address immediate operational needs while laying the foundation for a more capable long-term venue audio infrastructure.

“At NAB, we want to meet with organizations that are ready to move beyond discussion and into deployment,” said Richard A. Cerny, Founder and CEO of Backbone Networks Corporation. “SoundSystem Live is proven, operating, and ready to help venues deliver real-time fan engagement, accessibility, and a stronger long-term audio capability.”

Backbone is also inviting systems integrators and technical partners to meet during the show. Venue deployments often move through integrators, and the company wants to work with partners helping customers align venue audio services with existing production, networking, and operational environments.
