Production Internet
Built for the production that exists - not the one in the schedule.
Reliable internet is critical from the first day of prep. Sohonet gets productions connected quickly, enabling on-set crews and off-set creatives to collaborate from the moment work begins.
Production timelines change fast. We work with you to scope exactly what’s needed at each stage of the production, then adapt as crews, workflows, locations, and schedules change. This ensures capacity, performance, and security are aligned to each phase, not just day one.
Production Phones
From call sheets to crisis calls - production phones that actually work on set.
Phones are the backbone of communication on any production. Sohonet delivers cost-effective, easy-to-use production phone services that keep crews, offices, and off-set creatives connected from day one. We provide physical desk phones for production offices alongside softphone support, so teams can take calls wherever they’re working, on set, in the office, or remotely.
