Speaking & Media

Dan Merwin brings decades of telecom experience and hands-on broadcast engineering perspective to conferences, workshops, panels, podcasts, and industry conversations.


His sessions focus on the real-world connectivity, infrastructure, procurement, and resilience decisions broadcasters are making today.

PRACTICAL INSIGHT FOR BROADCAST ENGINEERS

Built Around the Decisions Engineering Teams Are Actually Making

Broadcast technology continues to change, but engineering teams still have to make those changes work within real budgets, limited staffing, existing infrastructure, and very little tolerance for downtime.


Dan’s presentations focus on helping broadcasters understand the options, evaluate the tradeoffs, and make decisions that work in practice.


Rather than promoting technology for technology’s sake, his sessions are built around a simpler question:

What actually makes sense for this operation?

FEATURED SPEAKING TOPIC

Telecom Circuits and Links for Broadcast and Media Facilities

Today’s broadcasters have more connectivity choices than ever, but more options do not automatically make procurement easier.

In this presentation, Dan shares practical guidance for navigating today’s product and provider landscape while balancing budget, staffing, reliability, and time constraints.

Topics include:

  • Making telecom procurement easier and more effective
  • Evaluating providers and connectivity options
  • Starlink and alternative backup connectivity
  • 4G and 5G technologies
  • Private wireless links
  • Building redundancy on a limited budget
  • Using Software-Defined WAN technologies to create more resilient infrastructure

The session is designed to help engineering and technical leaders understand where newer connectivity options fit, where they may not, and what questions should be asked before making a long-term infrastructure decision.

RECENT SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Public Radio Engineering Conference

Dan presented Telecom Circuits and Links for Broadcast and Media Facilities at the Public Radio Engineering Conference in Las Vegas.


The session focused on making telecom procurement more manageable, evaluating changing connectivity technologies, and building robust, redundant infrastructure while working within real-world budget and staffing limitations.

NAB Show 2026 - Emerging Technology Session

Dan participated in NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas, connecting with broadcast engineers, technology leaders, vendors, and other industry professionals around the changing telecom and infrastructure needs of broadcast operations.


His participation continued the conversation around provider selection, connectivity, redundancy, and practical modernization strategies for broadcasters.

SPEAKING Topics for Conferences, Panels & Industry Events

Telecom Procurement & Provider Selection

How broadcasters can compare providers, review proposals, ask better questions, and make purchasing decisions based on more than price alone.

Broadcast Connectivity & Infrastructure

Practical guidance around circuits, links, internet connectivity, multi-site operations, and infrastructure planning.

Redundancy & Resilience

How to identify single points of failure and create realistic backup strategies without unnecessarily overbuilding the network.

SD-WAN for Broadcasters

Where SD-WAN can improve visibility, failover, flexibility, and multi-site connectivity, along with situations where a simpler approach may be the better fit.

Emerging Connectivity Options

A practical look at technologies such as Starlink, 4G/5G, private wireless, fiber, and other options becoming part of the modern broadcast connectivity mix.

Technology Assessments & Roadmaps

How engineering and leadership teams can evaluate current infrastructure, prioritize risk, and create a practical plan for what should happen next.
