TVU Networks is working with Reuters on a phased migration from satellite to a cloud-managed, IP-based live news distribution model. The new infrastructure is live in its first region, with global deployment continuing. The migration is projected to reduce total cost of ownership and simplify operations.
The infrastructure is powered by TVU MediaHub and TVU NOC (Network Operations Center) and incorporates geographically distributed redundancy and automated failover. Because the platform is cloud-based, these capabilities are available on demand. The next phase aims to allow Reuters to scale signals in real time and integrate new workflows without changes to physical infrastructure.
“Our responsibility is to preserve the reliability our customers depend on while improving the quality and consistency of our live distribution signals worldwide,” says Joseph Delshadian, Director of Content Distribution, Reuters. “This migration enables us to strengthen both while supporting our long-term distribution strategy.”
“The technical foundation of this migration is TVU MediaHub for signal processing and routing, paired with TVU NOC for network-wide monitoring, operation and incident response,” says Johannes Heckmann, Senior Solutions Architect, TVU Networks. “This architecture enables software-defined distribution with real-time observability, automated failover, and dynamic scaling of cloud compute and network capacity.”
“Working with Reuters on this project is about supporting a shift in how live content is distributed globally, while ensuring the transition fits within their existing operational model,” says Paul Shen, CEO, TVU Networks.
A second phase is already underway, focused on delivering more live content to more destinations simultaneously.
