Broadcast engineering & IT management
Signal to switch, kept running.
Ferrari-Sears Consulting keeps broadcast facilities on air and the networks behind them online — RF systems, studio infrastructure, and enterprise IT under one team that understands both.
// About
Two disciplines, one team.
Most firms treat broadcast engineering and IT as separate worlds — one bolted onto the other when the systems eventually have to talk. We built Ferrari-Sears Consulting the other way around: engineers who are equally at home in a transmitter room and a server rack, so the handoff between air chain and network never becomes someone else's problem.
We work with television and radio stations, production facilities, and the corporate IT operations that support them — handling day-to-day maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and the kind of emergency call that comes in at 2 a.m. when something has gone dark.
