MediaKind and LTN partner to accelerate the shift to IP distribution
By Patrick Gilmore, Partnerships Development Manager at MediaKind
Satellite is losing ground — fast. IP is rewriting the rules of video distribution.
One of the biggest conversations in our industry right now is the shift away from satellite distribution. Today, for many programmers and operators, the question isn’t if they move to IP — but rather how to do it without sacrificing reliability.
That’s exactly why I’m particularly pleased to see our new partnership with LTN come to life.
LTN has built a highly reliable IP network purpose-built for video. As a result, they are a natural partner for MediaKind. By integrating MK.IO Beam with the LTN Network, we are bringing together two capabilities that operators increasingly need: powerful video processing at the edge and resilient IP transport designed specifically for broadcast workflows.
More importantly, what I find compelling about this collaboration is how practical it is for the market. Indeed, many operators are navigating the decline of C-Band distribution while also trying to modernize their infrastructure. They need solutions that are flexible and cost-effective, yet still proven and dependable.
In this context, working with LTN allows us to extend the reach of MediaKind’s edge processing capabilities into a network environment engineered for reliability. Together, we can help customers move toward IP-based distribution with greater confidence and greater operational simplicity.
So, if you’re interested in the details of how the integration works and what it enables, I encourage you to take a look at the full announcement.
