ARET at IBC2026 with Two OB Trailers: 12G-SDI and IP ST 2110
At IBC2026, ARET Video & Audio Engineering will showcase two OB Trailers, bringing together 12G-SDI and IP ST 2110 architectures and demonstrating the company’s expertise in designing and integrating solutions for the evolving world of live production.
Tomorrow, IBC2026 officially opens its doors at RAI Amsterdam, and ARET Video & Audio Engineering will be there with a strong presence across the Outdoor Exhibits: two OB Trailers, two architectures, and one engineering vision.
For its 50th anniversary year, ARET is bringing together two different approaches to mobile production: its own 12G-SDI OB Trailer, on display at Outdoor Stand 0.A30, and the new EU-01 OB Trailer developed for NEP, presented at Outdoor Stand 0.A24 and built around an IP ST 2110 architecture.
Together, the two vehicles offer a direct demonstration of ARET’s ability to engineer, integrate and tailor complex mobile production environments according to different operational and technological requirements.
Two OB Trailers. Two architectures.
At 0.A30, visitors can step inside ARET’s own 12G-SDI OB Trailer, a box-over-box mobile production environment designed to combine high production capacity with a compact and efficient footprint.
The trailer provides approximately 30 m² of gallery space, 16 m² dedicated to vision and engineering, and a 9 m² audio room, with capacity for up to 30 operators.
The system integrates professional production, routing, monitoring and audio technologies, including a Lawo mc²56 production console with UHD Core 256 DSP, alongside connectivity and infrastructure supporting ST 2110, AES67/RAVENNA, MADI and Dante.
The result is a flexible and production-ready environment designed for demanding live applications, while reflecting ARET’s approach to precision, reliability and tailored engineering.
At 0.A24, visitors will find EU-01, the new OB Trailer delivered by ARET for NEP.
Built around IP ST 2110, EU-01 represents a different approach to mobile production, with a modern networked infrastructure designed to support scalable workflows and future-ready operations.
The vehicle is part of NEP’s standardised fleet strategy and has been developed to meet demanding international live production requirements, with an architecture designed around interoperability, flexibility and centralised orchestration through the NEP Platform.
The two trailers therefore tell an important story: SDI and IP are not competing answers, but different architectures that can be engineered to meet specific production needs.
Engineering the future of mobile production
ARET’s role goes beyond vehicle construction.
As a designer, coachbuilder and systems integrator, ARET manages projects from concept and vehicle design through engineering, integration, testing and delivery. This vertically integrated approach allows every mobile production environment to be developed around the customer’s operational requirements, rather than around a one-size-fits-all solution.
The two OB Trailers at IBC2026 demonstrate this philosophy in two different ways.
The ARET trailer showcases a powerful 12G-SDI environment, while the NEP EU-01 demonstrates the possibilities of an IP ST 2110-based workflow.
For visitors, this creates a unique opportunity to see two fully engineered approaches side by side and discuss with the ARET team how the right architecture can be selected and integrated for different applications, productions and future requirements.
A special milestone for ARET and NEP
The IBC2026 exhibition also marks an important moment for both companies.
On Friday 11 September at 16:30, ARET and NEP will officially inaugurate EU-01 in the Outdoor Exhibits, bringing together the teams behind the project at the area connecting 0.A22, 0.A24 and 0.A30.
The event will celebrate not only the arrival of a new vehicle, but also the collaboration behind it.
The timing is particularly meaningful for ARET, which is celebrating 50 years of engineering excellence in 2026, while NEP celebrates 40 years.
For ARET, the anniversary is an opportunity to look back at five decades of engineering experience while continuing to develop the mobile production environments that will support the next generation of live content.
Since its foundation in 1976, ARET has delivered more than 650 OB vehicles and completed over 2,000 turnkey projects across 40+ countries.
Visit ARET at IBC2026
From 11 to 14 September 2026, the ARET team will be available at Outdoor Stand 0.A30 to discuss current projects, mobile production solutions, systems integration and the future of broadcast and live production.
Visitors can also discover the NEP EU-01 OB Trailer at Outdoor Stand 0.A24, offering a closer look at the IP ST 2110 architecture delivered by ARET for NEP.
Two trailers. Two architectures. One engineering partner.

ARET Group Unveils New OB Trailer for NEP Europe, Setting a New Benchmark in Broadcast Vehicle Engineering with IP ST 2110
Designed and built entirely in-house, the new production unit introduces ARET's Box-over-Box technology, redefining space, flexibility and comfort for large-scale outside broadcast operations.
ARET Group, Italian coach builder and system integrator, expert in the design and construction of outside broadcast vehicles and mobile production units, today announces the official launch of a new OB trailer built for NEP Europe, one of the world's leading media services providers for live sports and entertainment. The unit will make its public debut at IBC Show 2026 in Amsterdam, where it will be open for guided tours throughout the event.
The vehicle was conceived, engineered and manufactured entirely from scratch by ARET Group, with coachbuilding handled by ARET Coachworx, the division responsible for the structural and mechanical integrity of every unit that carries the ARET name. From chassis to final fit-out, the trailer represents the full scope of ARET's in-house capability: nothing outsourced, nothing off-the-shelf.
Box-over-Box: A New Standard in Onboard Space
At the heart of this new unit is Box-over-Box, ARET's proprietary architecture for maximising usable interior volume without compromising the vehicle's structural performance on the road. The result is one of the widest and most spacious OB trailers in its class, comfortably accommodating more than 30 production professionals working side by side, with room to spare for equipment racks, workstations and circulation.
Rather than treating space as a constraint to be managed, Box-over-Box treats it as a design opportunity. The layout gives production teams the freedom to configure control rooms, galleries and technical areas the way they actually work, not the way the vehicle dictates. It's a shift from designing trucks around equipment to designing trucks around people.
Italian Craftsmanship, Purpose-Built for Live Production
Beyond the engineering, what distinguishes this trailer is the quality of its execution. Every interior surface, cable run and workstation reflects ARET's approach to coachbuilding as a craft rather than an assembly process, a level of finish and attention to detail rooted in Italian manufacturing tradition, applied to one of the most demanding vehicle categories in the industry: mobile broadcast production.
The cabin design balances functionality with genuine comfort, recognising that OB trailers are not just technical infrastructure, they are the workplace for production crews during some of the longest and most high-pressure days in live television.
Built for the IP Era
Underneath its craftsmanship, the new trailer is engineered as a fully IP-based production environment designed not for today's workflows alone, but for where live production is heading. Signal routing, control and connectivity are built on an all-IP backbone, replacing the rigid point-to-point wiring of traditional OB trucks with a flexible, software-defined infrastructure that can scale, reconfigure and evolve alongside the technology it carries.
This architecture gives production teams a level of agility that legacy trucks simply can't offer: capacity can be redistributed on demand, new tools and formats can be integrated without re-engineering the vehicle, and the entire production chain can be managed and monitored from a single, unified network. It's less a broadcast truck in the traditional sense than a mobile data centre built to produce live television, future-proofed by design, and ready for the next generation of formats, remote production models and hybrid workflows shaping the industry.
For ARET, the IP-based approach reflects a broader philosophy: building vehicles that don't just meet today's technical specifications, but anticipate where the industry is going next.
A Partnership Built on Trust
"This project represents everything ARET stands for: complete control over design, engineering and craftsmanship. Building a unit of this scale for a partner like NEP is a responsibility we take seriously, and Box-over-Box is our answer to what modern live production really needs ; space, comfort and reliability, built the Italian way."
— Umberto Asti, President & CEO, ARET Group
The new trailer will support NEP's operations across Europe and will be showcased for the first time to the industry at IBC 2026, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the Box-over-Box concept firsthand.

A Novecember to Remember: How ARET Group Delivered 7 Major Projects in Just Two Months
A Novecember to Remember: How ARET Group Delivered 7 Major Projects in Just Two Months
The new year has begun, but before moving full speed ahead, it’s worth taking a moment to look back at a defining period for ARET Group.
Novecember, the bridge between November and December, was a powerful close to the year. In just two months, ARET Group successfully delivered seven major projects in Europe, Africa, and Middle east. A clear reflection of the focus, coordination, and performance mindset that drives everything we do.
This period was not about slowing down for the holidays. It was about execution.
Across complex technical deployments, broadcast and AV solutions, and performance-focused coach building initiatives, our teams worked with precision and discipline to meet tight timelines without compromising quality. Each project required cross-functional collaboration, problem-solving, and a shared commitment to delivery excellence.
Behind the scenes, engineers, specialists, and coaches came together with one clear goal: deliver results.
To capture the energy of that intense and rewarding period, we shared a video that connects the map, and shows the projects delivered by ARET Group during Novecember.
🎥 Watch the video here:👉 [ ARET GROUP ACROSS BRODERS ]
As we move forward into the new year, this Novecember stands as a benchmark. It reminds us of what can be achieved when strong teams, clear processes, and a performance-driven culture come together.
The calendar has changed, but the mindset remains the same.
ARET Group enters the year ahead with confidence, built on experience, delivery, and the people who make it all happen.
