City of Pompano Beach Selects PlayBox Technology for Turnkey CIAB Broadcast Solution
The City of Pompano Beach has successfully modernised its broadcast operations with the deployment of a fully integrated Channel-in-a-Box (CIAB) solution from PlayBox Technology, delivered as a complete turnkey system in partnership with Micropace.
The new system replaces a traditional, hardware-heavy broadcast infrastructure with a streamlined, software-based platform that integrates ingest, scheduling, graphics, automation, and playout into a single environment.
Designed to support the city’s growing content distribution needs across cable and digital platforms, the CIAB solution provides a scalable and future-ready foundation for municipal broadcasting.
Modernising Municipal Broadcasting
Faced with increasing demand for efficient content delivery and simplified operations, the City of Pompano Beach sought a solution that would reduce complexity while improving reliability and flexibility.
The PlayBox Technology CIAB platform enables:
- Centralised control of all broadcast operations
- Automated playout and scheduling workflows
- Integrated graphics and branding
- Multi-format output for linear and streaming channels
- Built-in redundancy for uninterrupted service
The turnkey deployment ensured rapid implementation with minimal disruption to existing services.
Seamless Turnkey Delivery
The project was delivered end-to-end by Micropace, including system design, installation, integration, and staff training. The result is a fully operational broadcast environment that significantly reduces manual intervention while enhancing overall efficiency.
Industry Perspective
“The transition to a CIAB-based workflow has fundamentally changed how this operation runs. What previously required multiple systems and ongoing oversight is now consolidated into a single, reliable platform.
The turnkey approach ensured a smooth deployment and immediate operational benefits, giving the City a scalable solution that is ready for future growth.”

A Future-Ready Platform
By adopting a software-centric CIAB architecture, the City of Pompano Beach is now positioned to expand its broadcast capabilities, launch additional channels, and adapt to evolving media consumption trends without significant infrastructure changes.
