Your Broadcast Technology Problem Solver
— focused not just on executing a fixed scope of work, but on fully owning the outcome.
MSW Lab is an independent services company designed to provide comprehensive consulting, engineering, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and validation services to broadcast and media organizations in North America. Our unique experience sits at the nexus of monitoring, control, and orchestration solutions, IP-centric broadcast equipment integration and troubleshooting, and IT Networking LAN and WAN deployments for media. We are well-positioned to navigate the most complex multi-vendor issues efficiently, at a predictable cost, and with a successful outcome.
About MSW Lab
Making Broadcast Technology work is getting significantly harder, not easier. While the leveraging of IT-centric approaches to traditional Broadcast Technology solutions has enabled significantly enhanced capabilities and features, it has also introduced significantly more complex challenges than in any previous generation of Broadcast Technology. These complex challenges require comprehensive solutions that are efficiently delivered with quality and economy. MSW Lab thrives in providing a multi-faceted approach that provides everything required to Make Stuff Work.
Business
MSW Lab primarily provides services, but also functions on occasion as a reseller of a carefully-curated array of Broadcast Hardware and Software Solutions under agreement with our industry supplier partners. As a services-based business, we hold no allegiance to any equipment supplier, and work diligently to make everything work, not just things we have sold.
Business partners
We regularly work with a wide array of top-tier equipment suppliers, including Telestream, VideoFlow, Sencore, Rohde & Schwartz, Evertz, GatesAir, Monico, Bridge Technologies, Appear, and more.
Partnership with Skyline Communications
MSW Lab is unique among Skyline partners, as its principal officer, Michael Wells, was first a Skyline DataMiner customer for over 3 years, then worked as a Principal Solutions Architect at Skyline Communications for over 5 years prior to launching MSW Lab, and now serves as a DataMiner Solutions Partner.
MSW Lab is uniquely positioned to get new small to mid-sized Skyline DataMiner customers up and running on their DataMiner solutions quickly and cost-effectively. Because of our vast experience in deploying and troubleshooting broadcast and IT systems, we are able to quickly identify issues that are blocking a successful deployment and work with stakeholders to quickly resolve problems and deliver positive results. In short, we are willing to “own the dysfunction” that sometimes arises during the initial launch of a novel solution like DataMiner into an existing system or organization and work to quickly and effectively deliver value from the solution.
Initiatives
MSW Lab is pleased to partner with Skyline as an in-booth tradeshow partner representative for scheduled and walk-up conversations about how DataMiner can help your organization succeed. MSW Lab also works closely with Skyline Communications to identify projects where our unique expertise may provide significant value.
Projects & references
As a customer, employee, and partner, MSW Lab has deployed, optimized, or supported over 20 DataMiner solutions, from single-Agent systems, to 20+ Agent systems with multiple on-premises and cloud deployments. We have also worked with 50+ broadcast equipment vendors to optimize the Device-to-DataMiner interface.
