The Asia-Pacific broadcasting has organised the webinar and invited Radio Televisyen Malaysia to share valuable insights into the future of remote media production through a session titled "Powering Simless Remote Evolving Media Integration (REMI) TV Production", presented by Ir. Ts. Ahmad Shafiq Mirza from RTM-Malaysia. Held via Zoom, the session welcomed broadcasters, engineers, and production managers to explore how cutting-edge 5G technology is reshaping the production and delivery of large-scale events.

The webinar highlighted Malaysia's leadership in driving hybrid 5G broadcast solutions, aligned with its role as ASEAN Chair in 2025. As presented in the ABU - 5G Innovation in ASEAN Chairmanship 2025 plan, the integration of hybrid 5G networks is transforming traditional workflows by enabling more agile, cost-effective, and sustainable production models.

Participants learned how the Remote Integration Model (REMI), combined with next-generation 5G mobile and Wi-Fi networks, allows broadcasters to centralise production operations while dramatically reducing on-site equipment, crew, and travel costs. This approach not only optimises resources but also ensures high-quality, real-time audiovisual content for television, radio, social media, and archiving.

The session also showcased Malaysia's role as host of the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) during its ASEAN Chairmanship, which served as the central media hub for five major ASEAN events, connecting 12 broadcast locations through an innovative hybrid REMI setup. Attendees gained insights into how multiple studio floors and galleries were linked via advanced IP transceivers, wireless LANs, and a robust 5G backbone - extending the studio environment beyond traditional boundaries.

This model enabled more streamlined collaboration among directors, producers, and technical teams, while supporting ASEAN's broader push for more sustainable broadcasting with a reduced carbon footprint. Through practical examples, the speaker demonstrated how Malaysia tackled operational challenges such as multi-venue broadcasting, security protocols, and installation limitations, providing a strong reference for other broadcasters in the region aiming to adopt similar 5G-driven REMI solutions.

The session concluded by reinforcing that hybrid 5G REMI production is not just a concept for the future - it is a proven approach that can deliver cost efficiency, operational agility, and sustainability for major events today.
