Directly comparable in live event broadcast production, but at vastly larger scale across sports, entertainment, and corporate.
• PRG (Production Resource Group): One of the largest production services and equipment rental companies globally, serving live events, broadcast, and entertainment with audio, video, lighting, and rigging. Comparable live event production services and equipment inventory, but a far broader portfolio spanning film, TV, concerts, and corporate events.

Comparable in servicing multi-city corporate broadcasts and high-profile live event clients with similar video transmission infrastructure.
