Bandwidth Requirements for the Super Bowl

By , About.com Guide   February 3, 2010

Follow me on:

Super Bowl XLIV - Miami, FL [via dailywireless.org] - How much network bandwidth does it take to transmit high definition video of a world famous event? If you said 1.5 Gbps, you have correctly pegged the size of the feed Level 3 Communications plans to deliver for Super Bowl 44. The broadcast of Super Bowls in previous years required compression at the site before uploading to the broadcasting station, but this time Level 3 expects their fiber optic cables to handle the real-time stream uncompressed, enabling a higher quality broadcast. Impressive.
