Network manager and method

A network manager comprising:

• a data interface configured to communicatively couple to at least one radio access network (RAN) of a broadcast network (BCN) that is configured to wirelessly emit a load data signal (LDSI), and to communicatively couple to a load data source network (LDSN);
• and
• a request database comprising data of at least one historical data transmission already fulfilled for the BCN;
• and
• a network scheduler communicatively coupled to the data interface and the request database and configured to receive request data with regard to the transmission of load data from the LDSN, and to provide configuration data for the purpose of configuring the at least one RAN to use specific radio access network resources for transmission of the load data, the radio access network resources referring to at least one of a frequency, a bandwidth, a timeslot or time, or a geographical location for transmission of the load data;
• wherein the network scheduler is configured to define the configuration data based on the request data and at least partially based on the data stored in the request database.
