The Challenge

Ensuring consistent quality connectivity for live video & game data from 130 tables to users across the world - over the public internet.

OnAir EntertainmentTM was founded in December 2020 and is led by a collective of senior industry professionals with a proven history in live casino. They are experiencing rapid growth as they embark on a mission to bring competitive, customisable, and world-leading content to the table.

• Establish network connectivity across their entire estate, starting with their state-of-the-art new studio site in Riga, Latvia.
• Connectivity for a combination of video and game data overlay delivery and distribution - live - from over 130 tables.
• Specific internet exchanges must be used, over the public internet.
• OnAir Entertainment TM is in hyper growth – how is this critical infrastructure rolled out with standardisation without draining internal resources?

In the pioneering studio site of OnAir Entertainment, the capital of their gaming empire, sits 130 tables. Each
table feeds high quality and simultaneous video content and personalised game data, directly to their players who are dispersed across the world – live.

With so much content being delivered and distributed across multiple channels, feeds, and platforms at any given minute, from both a delivery and distribution perspective, having complete faith in the integrity and performance of the connectivity is vital. As such, uptime, resilience, and reliability are critical.

If consistency in service for a high volume of data was not challenge enough, the intention to broadcast the video streams over the public internet presented its own challenges. Public internet and reliability are not two connectivity components that traditionally pair.

The Industry Challenge

A requirement such as this poses another challenge that does not relate directly to their requirements but more to how the connectivity industry operates. Fulfilling these aims using internal teams and approaching procurement traditionally would result in a mixed bag of products, from multiple providers, demanding varying contracts to configure and a result that is as convoluted as it is risky.

On Air EntertainmentTM were looking to have a standardised deployment globally, regardless of supply chain. How does an organisation achieve this when in hyper growth and teams are, rightly so, focusing on business and product critical duties?

A traditional approach to acquiring connectivity would engulf significant resource and time, impacting business growth plans and disrupting the product for its end users as a result.

This challenge is our bread and butter - it is why we exist. Deliver complicated, complex, and convoluted network connectivity with speed, simplicity, and service. Deliver it wrapped in one contract and one team.

The Solution

The FourNet Method

A core focus of ours at 01T is service. Given the level of design feeding into this studio solution, we were keen to integrate our fully managed service on to the solution. Fully managed services ensure smooth project delivery and a secure understanding of how the service is operating at any given second. Accessing project data, navigating orders, and accessing user interfaces and hardware are a handful of the benefits that come with fully managed services.

Given the shortage of chips across the world and other challenges faced by the connectivity industry over the past two years, we felt more confident delivering this solution if our team had full visibility of its every component, at every stage.

The project in Latvia had some rigorous demands, and 01T guided us through the project from start to finish with advice we did not have to chase, and a project delivery that was transparent, timely and efficient. We are impressed with the result and feel our working relationship is fundamental toachieve our ambitious plans of rapid growth and development” Kristaps Bekers, Network Architect

The Result

On Air launched their flagship studio in record time and operates production with ease.

On Air operates their headline studio using an entirely bespoke, fit-for-purpose network infrastructure with the assurance that it will operate to the distinctive standards that are critical to their business function and user experience.

Money, time, and resource was substantially saved during the project, and continues to be. OnAir EntertainmentTM owns a complex, entirely fitting and superior solution, and only needs to depend on one provider - FourNet.

To fulfil their network requirements using traditional connectivity providers would require numerous partnerships, levels of service, costs, procurement processes and individual services that require maintenance individually. A cohesive network solution would unlikely be achieved and it would pose huge risk should one service fail.

Instead, OnAir EntertainmentTM have a unified and proactively monitored solution that fulfils every requirement delivered by a dedicated team who instinctively understands them. One provider, one solution, one relationship.

Working with the team at 01T is a completely new experience in terms of connectivity. They provide intuitive, expert design and go to every length to achieve a true understanding of our needs, our mission, and how we oper- ate as an organisation. The result in Riga would not have been possible without them and we are excited to be working with them for our future projects - watch this space!
