Alistair Horne Celebrates Successful IBC

Hornets Tech has announced that Director Alistair Horne has been recognised with the IABM Technology Catalyst Award at the 2025 IABM Awards.
This celebrates individuals who not only demonstrate deep technical expertise but also inspire those around them by bridging the gap between cutting-edge innovation and practical, creative application.
With more than 25 years in the industry, Alistair has dedicated his career to helping production teams tackle complex technical challenges in high-pressure environments. Through Hornets Tech, he plays a vital role in connecting developers with producers and directors, translating advanced wireless and IP connectivity into reliable solutions for live and recorded productions.
In their feedback, the IABM judges praised his ability to bring engineering and creativity together: "Your pioneering work fitting small 4K RF systems to F1 cars showcases engineering brilliance meeting creativity. From blockbuster films to the F1 movie, your innovations have enabled ambitious, high-stakes creative projects at the cutting edge of broadcast technology."
"This award is an important acknowledgement of the role we play in turning technology into practical solutions," said Alistair Horne, MD Hornets Tech. "Our focus has always been on making new technology work in the real world. It’s about taking big ideas, stripping away the complexity, and giving creative teams the confidence that everything will perform when it matters most."
Hornets Tech continues to support the broadcast and production community with sales, advice, and system expertise, representing leading manufacturers such as SipRadius and Domo Broadcast Systems. The company specialises in practical solutions that make productions more reliable, more secure, and more innovative.
