Smallest backpack in its class with 6× 5G modem modules (3 antennas each) plus 4‑antenna Wi‑Fi MIMO; ISX accelerates live shots and boosts reliability

CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ANI, South Asia’s leading multimedia news agency, has upgraded its field production fleet with TVU Networks’ latest TVU One 5G backpack. The new pack integrates six 5G modem modules, each paired with a dedicated three–antenna MIMO (Multiple–Input, Multiple–Output) array, plus a four–antenna Wi–Fi MIMO system—22 antennas total—in the smallest form factor of its class. The result is dramatically better performance in congested city centers, packed venues, disaster zones, and weak–signal rural areas, so crews can go live where others stall.

Unlike common single–antenna, printed designs that can suffer near–field interference and self–cancellation when radios are clustered, TVU’s architecture provides per–modem antenna diversity and isolation. The pack maintains cleaner RF conditions across carriers and bands, achieving stronger links and more stable throughput under pressure.

At the transport layer, TVU’s ISX (Inverse StatMux) technology bonds and orchestrates traffic across all modems, ethernet and Wi–Fi simultaneously, continuously routing packets around local hot spots, cell–edge fades, and transient congestion. The combination shortens time–to–air latency and sustains broadcast–grade reliability even when spectrum is contested.

“As South Asia’s leading news agency, it is our responsibility to deliver breaking news to our clients with speed, reliability, and the highest quality. To strengthen this commitment, we have decided to upgrade to TVU’s latest 22-Antenna 5G system,” said Sanjiv Prakash, CEO, ANI. “This advanced technology empowers our journalists to go live from locations where others can’t—faster, more stably, and with greater consistency.”

“We designed TVU One’s RF system to win in the harshest real–world environments,” said Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks. “Six 5G modules, each with its own three–antenna MIMO array, plus a four–antenna Wi–Fi MIMO backbone, deliver the antenna density and isolation needed to punch through congestion—then ISX handles the rest by moving data across the best paths instantly.”

Key technical highlights

• 22 antennas in total: 6× 5G modem modules × 3 antennas each (18) + 4–antenna Wi–Fi MIMO.
• Smaller, lighter, field–proven pack built for mobility without sacrificing RF performance.
• Near–field interference mitigation through antenna diversity and isolation—not single printed antennas.
• ISX for real–time bonding and path orchestration across carriers and bands to reduce latency spikes and dropouts.
• Multi–provider, multi–band agility for stability across varying infrastructure and international deployments.

TOKYO, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ESR, an Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) focused real asset owner and manager, and Colt Data Centre Services (“Colt DCS”), a global provider of hyperscale, AI, and large enterprise data centre solutions, have entered into a joint venture to develop the first phase of a 130 MW¹ hyperscale data centre site in Minoh City, Osaka, Japan.

ESR and Colt DCS Announce Joint Venture on New Osaka Data Centre Development

The first phase, comprising 65 MW¹, will be designed and built by the ESR–Colt DCS joint venture and operated by Colt DCS. Strategically located in APAC’s second largest data centre market, the campus will support Japan’s accelerating public cloud adoption, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions.

Site preparation work is already underway, with initial data centre building construction scheduled to begin in 2027 and expected to be ready for service in late 2029.

The partnership brings together Colt DCS’ proven operational excellence and over 25 years of development experience in Japan with ESR’s strong in-market development expertise and supply chain partnerships to provide high-quality data centre solutions for customers. Colt DCS opened its Osaka Keihanna data centre in 2023 and ESR’s first hyperscale asset, OS1, within its Cosmosquare Data Centre campus in Osaka, completed commissioning in 2025.

Niclas Sanfridsson, CEO of Colt DCS, said, “Colt DCS has built a strong track record of delivering world-class data centres for our hyperscale customers in Japan. The joint venture with ESR will allow us to accelerate our expansion in Japan, enabling us to support the expansion plans for our global cloud customers and the emerging AI sector.”

Stuart Gibson, Co-founder and Co-CEO, ESR, said, “Japan is a key pillar of our data centre strategy, and our joint venture with Colt DCS marks a milestone in our blueprint to deliver next-generation data centre infrastructure that underpins digital growth across the region. This site draws on our deep expertise in data centre development and reflects our commitment to driving long-term economic value and empowering digital transformation for our customers and the communities we serve.”

Diarmid Massey, CEO, Data Centres, ESR, added, “Our partnership with Colt DCS complements ESR’s ability to deliver data centres at scale in high-demand markets for capital partners and customers. Our purpose-built, high-performance Minoh data centre is being designed to support hyperscale, AI, and large enterprise-driven workloads. Beyond its technical capabilities, the site will be a vibrant hub for local innovation, engagement, and sustainable growth.”

The Minoh site spans approximately 140,000 square metres of land that ESR–Colt DCS joint venture has acquired and rezoned for this major redevelopment project, in partnership with the local government.

With a strong focus on ESG and local urban regeneration, the initial data centre forms part of the joint venture’s broader vision for a large-scale data centre site in Minoh City. The master plan for the site significantly improves and extends local road connectivity and will provide community amenities, such as an international school, local park, retail, and shared facilities. In line with ESR and Colt DCS’ green data centre development goals, the ESR-Colt DCS joint venture is aiming for LEED Gold certification.
