  • Starlink satellite for remote locations with no mobile signal

  • Separate SSIDs for cast, crew and production management
  • Script and call sheet distribution networks
  • Secure production management connectivity
  • NDA-compliant, standard on every engagement
Starlink deployment
Satellite internet that works from almost any location in the UK. Essential for remote shoots where mobile signal is non-existent, with low latency and plenty of headroom.
Bonded 4G/5G
Multiple SIMs across different networks bonded together for resilience. If one network drops, the others carry the load. A reliable uplink for any shoot.
Secure networks
Segmented VLANs for different user groups. Production management kept separate from general crew. Security and confidentiality built in from the start.
Use cases

Built for every
type of production.

Whether you are shooting a feature film in a remote Scottish glen or a TV commercial in a city centre, we have a connectivity solution that works.

How it works

Simple from
first call to wrap.

01
Get in touch with your shoot details

Call or email us with your location, shoot dates and what you need connected. We will confirm availability and come back to you quickly with a quote. An NDA can be signed at this stage if required.

02
Pre-production planning

We liaise with your production manager or location manager to understand the unit base layout, set positions and connectivity requirements, then advise on the best technical solution for the location.

03
On-site deployment

We arrive ahead of crew call to set up and test the network before the day begins. Starlink or bonded 4G/5G is configured, access points positioned and every network tested before anyone needs to connect.

04
On-call support throughout

We stay on-call throughout the shoot day. If anything needs adjusting, whether that is extra coverage, bandwidth prioritisation or a new SSID, we handle it without disrupting the production.

Why Proper Northern

Production experience.
Not just WiFi hire.

We understand how productions work. We know what a line producer needs, what a DIT needs, and what happens when the internet goes down at the wrong moment.

NDA ready

We sign NDAs as standard on production engagements. Your project details, location and production name stay confidential. Discretion is non-negotiable on set.

Nationwide UK deployment

Based in Manchester and Northumberland, we deploy across the whole of the UK mainland. From the Scottish Highlands to the south coast, if you can get to it, we can connect it.

Starlink for true remote locations

Many locations have zero mobile signal. Starlink satellite internet gives you reliable connectivity from almost anywhere in the UK with a clear view of the sky, with no infrastructure needed.

Production-friendly approach

We work to call sheets, wrap times and last-minute schedule changes. Productions move fast and plans change, so we stay flexible throughout.

FAQ

Common questions
from production teams.

Yes. Starlink satellite internet works from virtually any location in the UK with a clear view of the sky, regardless of mobile signal. We deploy Starlink as a primary uplink for remote locations, combined with bonded 4G/5G where available for maximum resilience.
Unit base WiFi provides internet connectivity to the production's base of operations, typically where trailers, catering, production offices and holding areas are located. It serves cast, crew, production management and facilities, keeping everyone connected independent of the filming location.
Yes. We can create segmented, VLAN-separated networks for different groups, for example a secure production management network, a general crew network and a cast or talent network, all running from the same infrastructure with separate SSIDs and bandwidth allocation.
We can typically deploy within 24 to 48 hours of booking for urgent requirements. For planned productions, we work to your call sheet and production schedule. A typical unit base setup takes 1 to 2 hours on site from vehicle to full network operation.
Yes, absolutely. We understand the confidentiality requirements of film and TV production and are happy to sign NDAs as part of our engagement. Discretion on set is standard practice for us.
