The Circle

CLIENT:        Pinnacom // Studio Lambert // All3Media

LOCATION:  Salford

ROLE:           Network Deployment Lead

Studio Lambert took over two buildings for 6 months in order to film several regional versions "The Circle" for Netflix and Channel 4 in 2019. With Contestants apartments, art department and runners hubs requiring connectivity in Adelphi Wharf, and production and editorial and broadcast facilities taking over the former University of Salford Centenary building across the road, connectivity for all disciplines was required between the two sites. A full WiFi offering was installed in both, with links back to All3Medias main data centre as well as The Farm's remote production facilities allowing editors to work from the on-site SAN from anywhere. 2 Gigiabit uplinks with a bonded 4G failover ensured maximum uptime, whilst a fully redundant LAN topology ensured links between buildings were equally resilient.
