Network & Infrastructure

Modern live performance rigs depend on reliable, low-latency network infrastructure — and most bands don't realize how much of their workflow runs on it until something goes wrong. Wireless in-ear monitors, remote control of rack gear, stage-to-front-of-house communication, and wireless device connectivity all depend on a network that is purpose-built for the demands of live performance. At Optum Audio, we design and build that infrastructure from the ground up.

We start with your stage environment: the physical layout, the wireless devices in use, the potential sources of interference, and the performance requirements of every networked component. From there we design a wired and wireless network topology that isolates critical traffic, minimizes latency, and eliminates the interference and congestion that plague generic off-the-shelf setups. Where needed, we implement VLANs to segment traffic, configure access points for optimal coverage, and build in redundancy to keep your show running even when something unexpected happens.

Whether you're adding remote control to an existing rig or building a new system from scratch, we make sure your network is as solid and reliable as everything else on your stage.
