Dr. Konstantin Septinus received his Ph.D. degree from Leibniz University Hannover in 2012. During his time at the Institute of Microelectronic Systems in Hannover, he focused on digital signal processing and system design topics related to communication and network processing systems. In 2012 he joined the Research & Innovation Department of Sennheiser electronic working in the “Wireless Systems” group on novel radio and audio applications and respective prototypes. Since April 2018, Septinus is employed as project coordinator and R&D team lead at “Sennheiser Streaming Technologies”. Finally, he participates as reviewer for the IEEE and fosters vertical applications in upcoming 5G mobile networks.

In this talk, professional wireless audio systems used for media productions are discussed with regard to implications for potential 5G scenarios. Similar to e.g. industrial automation use-cases, live audio production requires high communication reliability as well as ultra-low signal delay. Furthermore, strict synchronization of devices is demanded in order to assure media integrity and enable all kinds of professional setups. Overall, respective media applications concern URLLC but additionally require network considerations for a successful integration.
