EdgeBeam Wireless Acquires Sinclair\u2019s Broadspan Distribution Platform to Accelerate its National Data Delivery Network Leveraging ATSC 3.0<\/b><\/p>\n

Strategic investment in Sinclair\u2019s Broadspan software and talent drives EdgeBeam\u2019s commitment to deliver efficient one-to-many data distribution services nationwide via broadcast infrastructure.<\/i><\/p>\n

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–EdgeBeam Wireless<\/a>, the world\u2019s first Hybrid Network Operator \u2014 a foundational layer at the edge enabling one-to-many data distribution for today\u2019s wireless networks, today announced the strategic acquisition of the Broadspan distribution platform from Sinclair, Inc<\/a>. The acquisition includes the Broadspan software suite and its core engineering team, a move that significantly accelerates EdgeBeam\u2019s go-to-market strategy by advancing the deployment timeline by multiple quarters and providing a national-scale data distributionnetwork utilizing broadcast infrastructure. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

\nEdgeBeam addresses congestion at the last mile by operating as a Hybrid Network Operator (HNO), combining the one-to-many efficiency of the ATSC 3.0 broadcast spectrum with the coverage of a traditional ISP (internet service provider). Using Broadspan\u2019s provisioning software and the wide-scale reach of its partners’ TV broadcast infrastructure, EdgeBeam transforms existing high-power broadcast towers into a scalable data distribution network. This data path uses multicast technology to bypass cellular bottlenecks, enabling a single transmission to reach unlimited endpoints simultaneously. The result is a commercially ready network that delivers enterprise-grade data, such as software updates, digital signage downloads, and GPS-resilient positioning, over the last mile with the flexibility and control of an ISP, but without the delays and high costs.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs the world\u2019s first HNO, we\u2019re reimagining the movement of data at the edge. The Broadspan software gives us a strategic control point in the network for routing, managing, and sourcing data for a national scale ATSC 3.0 data network,\u201d said Joe Fabiano, Chief Technology Officer, EdgeBeam Wireless. \u201cIntegrating Broadspan\u2019s technology and expert team of technologists provides our customers with a unified, reliable architecture for deploying their services, from high-precision positioning and digital signage to automotive and public safety applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n“Data distribution is a powerful next step in the evolution of broadcasting,” said Del Parks, President of Technology at Sinclair. “Broadspan\u2019s ability to leverage existing broadcast infrastructure and its efficient one-to-many broadcast architecture provides a highly scalable, cost-effective tool for data users, and EdgeBeam is the right partner to lead this platform into its next phase of growth.”<\/p>\n

Impact: Scaling the One-to-Many Model<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe acquisition cements EdgeBeam\u2019s position as last-mile data distribution network \u2014 the final leg of data delivery where traditional networks often face the most strain. Key strategic benefits include:<\/p>\n
