From our “Who’s Buying What” page: In Brazil, LineUp, an integrator, has deployed an intercom infrastructure through AEQ’s Xpeak technology for Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão’s, or SBT’s, FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage.
“The flexibility of the Xpeak platform and the integration capabilities of AEQ’s Virtual Matrix made it possible to build a communications ecosystem tailored to the demands of one of the world’s largest sporting events,” the company said in a release.
The solution is designed to allow communication between SBT’s headquarters in Brazil, teams in the U.S., the International Broadcast Center in Dallas and transmission partner NSports.
AEQ said the infrastructure uses its Virtual Matrix to connect points involved in the production. At SBT’s headquarters, Xpeak IF interfaces connect the broadcaster’s existing DELEC intercom system to the AEQ communications network.
In the U.S., the technology allowed integration with the RTS intercom system installed in the outside broadcast vehicle deployed at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
From the IBC headquarters in Dallas, operators used Xpeak Virtual, AEQ’s software-based communications solution, to maintain contact with the outside broadcast vehicle, SBT in Brazil and NSports teams.
NSports Brazil was also connected to the communications network through Xpeak terminals, AEQ said.
