The EBU has held a two-day professional media workshop on private 5G in Copenhagen, with practical sessions at Parken stadium and TV 2 Denmark. The programme combined live production demonstrations, case studies, network slicing, millimetre-wave links and group work around real workflows.
The timing coincided with the 30 September implementation date for EU Commission Decision 2025/2425 concerning local networks in the 3.8–4.2 GHz band, also known as N77. Regulators and industry participants discussed how national approaches in Denmark, France and the United Kingdom translate that framework into usable production spectrum.
Private 5G can give wireless cameras and production devices a managed radio layer with controlled devices, coverage and quality policy. Unlike public cellular bonding, the production organization can plan capacity for a venue. Practical constraints include spectrum licensing, uplink performance, radio design, device profiles and integration with contribution codecs and timing systems.
The EBU confirms the workshop scope and regulatory context, but has not yet published performance results, equipment lists, measured latency, uplink capacity, handover behaviour or a harmonized licensing procedure. The event demonstrates evaluation, not a completed deployment standard.
