Switches and Routers Configuration

Configure and monitor broadcast IP networks, including routers, switches, encoders, and firewalls used in media transport. Troubleshoot and resolve connectivity issues affecting video/audio playout, streaming, contribution, or distribution systems. Implement and maintain signal transport protocols such as SMPTE ST 2110, AES67, or NDI for live and file-based workflows. Collaborate with transmission, IT, and engineering teams to ensure network reliability, latency control, and system integration. Ensure cybersecurity compliance, redundancy, and uptime for broadcast-critical network segments and cloud/hybrid delivery models.

1. configure and maintain network hardware, including routers, switches, and firewalls, to ensure smooth operation. 2. implement and monitor security measures to protect the network from unauthorised access and cyber threats. 3. diagnose and resolve network problems, such as connectivity issues and performance bottlenecks, to minimise downtime. 4. monitor network performance and optimise network configurations to ensure efficient and reliable operation. 5. plan and execute network upgrades and expansions to accommodate growth and new technologies. 6. collaborate with IT teams to design and implement network solutions that align with organisational goals. 7. conduct regular audits of network infrastructure to ensure compliance with security policies and regulations. 8. provide technical support and guidance to end-users on network-related issues and configurations. 9. maintain documentation of network configurations, processes, and procedures. 10. stay updated on network technologies and best practices to recommend and implement improvements.

Maintain and operate machine control systems for continuous transmission and restore operations during system failures. Convert external broadcast formats and record satellite live feeds into digital formats. Evaluate the quality of playout channels and recordings to ensure compliance with broadcast standards. Troubleshoot and recover automation systems during faults to maintain stable broadcast operations. Analyse system performance and generate technical reports for operational insights and improvements.
