Replace Lost Satellite C-Band Capacity with cloudSwXtch
cloudSwXtch allows operators across industries to leverage the cloud networks for content distribution.
Companies are Evaluating Solutions Now
​The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to auction the remaining C-band spectrum over the next 24 months, significantly reducing capacity for satellite network providers. This shift is disrupting industries that rely on satellite infrastructure for high-quality video and data distribution.
​
If your business depends on leased C-band capacity for delivering content to cable headends, DTH platforms, or OTT services, you’re likely facing challenges in maintaining reliable, cost-effective distribution.​​
Loss of C-band capacity doesn’t have to disrupt your operations
​cloudSwXtch is a cloud-native, multicast-enabled platform designed to seamlessly replace satellite-based distribution with scalable, efficient, and high-performance cloud and hybrid networks.
Why Replace Satellite with cloudSwXtch?
​​Traditional satellite distribution is being phased out, but lossless unicast protocols like SRT and Zixi are not the best solutions. These point-to-point streaming methods, while reliable and widely used, are less scalable, cost-efficient, and flexible than using cloudSwXtch. ​
Superior Efficiency with Multicast
-
Unlike SRT and Zixi, which send individual streams to each recipient, cloudSwXtch leverages multicast to deliver a single stream to multiple endpoints simultaneously.
​​
-
This reduces bandwidth costs up to 80% for large-scale video distribution, making it ideal for linear TV, live sports, and OTT streaming. cloudSwXtch also support SRT and Zixi, making them more efficient.
Cost-Effective Transition
-
Eliminate the need for expensive satellite transponder leases and dedicated hardware.
​
-
cloudSwXtch does not charge on the basis of delivery, slashing operational costs while maintaining broadcast-grade performance.
Lossless Quality,
Cloud Scalability
-
cloudSwXtch ensures pixel-perfect, lossless video delivery, matching or exceeding the quality of satellite and unicast protocols like SRT and Zixi.
-
Built to span public clouds, on-prem and edge networks, it scales to handle peak demand without infrastructure bottlenecks.
​
Seamless
Integration
-
Our platform integrates with your existing workflows, supporting hybrid setups (cloud + terrestrial) and replacing satellite links without disrupting your media supply chain.
