Networking
Networking & Infrastructure
Reliable, properly segmented networks for studios and production sites, designed for the throughput creative work needs and the security content owners expect.
A production network has a different job from an office network. It moves very large files between many machines, it needs to isolate production content from everything else, and it often has to be stood up in a building that wasn't designed for it — or in a temporary location that won't exist next month.
Timeline Tech designs, installs and supports production networking and infrastructure for film and television productions, VFX and post facilities and AI studios. That covers internet connectivity, firewalls, high-speed switching, Wi-Fi, VLAN and network segmentation and 10, 25, 40 and 100Gb infrastructure where the workflow requires it.
For temporary sites and location requirements, we are able to supply 5G and Starlink connectivity where appropriate.

How we work
Designed for media traffic
Throughput, latency and segmentation matched to how storage, render and artists talk to each other.
Secure by default
Segmentation and perimeter design aligned with studio content-security expectations from the start.
Permanent or temporary
The same standards whether the site is a facility for ten years or a location for ten weeks.
For temporary sites and location requirements, we are able to supply 5G and Starlink connectivity where appropriate.
