Reuters, TVU Networks Launch Satellite-To-IP Migration

Reuters is shifting its live news distribution from satellite to a cloud-managed, IP-based model through a partnership with TVU Networks.

The new infrastructure is currently live in its first region, with global deployment progressing strategically. While satellite remains a proven method for transmission, the companies said the shift to IP addresses limitations regarding weather interference and fixed bandwidth capacity.

The platform, powered by TVU MediaHub and TVU NOC (Network Operations Center), provides higher audio and video stream quality while reducing costs. The cloud infrastructure incorporates geographically distributed redundancy and automated failover mechanisms to safeguard continuity.

“Our responsibility is to preserve the reliability our customers depend on, while improving the quality and consistency of our live distribution signals worldwide,” Joseph Delshadian, Reuters director of content distribution, said. “This migration enables us to strengthen both, while supporting our long-term distribution strategy.”

The technical foundation includes TVU MediaHub for signal processing and routing, paired with TVU NOC for network-wide monitoring and incident response. This architecture allows for software-defined distribution with real-time observability and dynamic scaling of cloud compute and network capacity.

“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,” Johannes Heckmann, TVU Networks senior solutions architect, said.

The migration is projected to reduce total cost of ownership while simplifying day-to-day operations. As the project moves into its next phase, Reuters intends to scale signals in real time and integrate new workflows without touching physical infrastructure.

“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,” Paul Shen, TVU Networks CEO, said.

The migration marks the first phase of a multi-year collaboration between the two companies. The next phase will introduce capabilities for delivering more live content to more takers simultaneously.

Reuters and TVU Networks will present live demonstrations of the platform at NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 18-22, in Booth W1717.
