London, 9 September 2026 – Open Broadcast Systems, the leader in software-based professional video transport, today announced that Sýn, Iceland’s largest privately owned telecoms and media group, has selected its encoders and decoders for low-latency transport of broadcast feeds across Iceland over IP. The purchase includes compact multichannel units for field contribution and larger decoders for use in Sýn’s master control room, extending a ten-year relationship between the two companies.
A key factor in Sýn’s selection was the flexibility offered by Open Broadcast Systems’ solutions. Available in a range of form factors, they enable Sýn to transport feeds with consistent high-quality and low latency across different locations and operational environments.
Árni Finnsson, senior engineer at Sýn’s broadcast tech department,, said: “Iceland presents unique operational challenges. We have worked with Open Broadcast Systems for many years, and we value its software-based approach, which allows us to adapt quickly without the limitations of hardware-based solutions.”
Kieran Kunhya, Founder and CEO of Open Broadcast Systems, said: “We are delighted to extend our ten-year relationship with Sýn, supporting both its field contribution and its master control room operations with the same high-quality, low-latency technology.”
