C-Band Replacement

Replace Lost Satellite C-Band Capacity with cloudSwXtch

cloudSwXtch allows operators to leverage the cloud networks for content distribution. 

​​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. ​

Why replace satellite with 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. 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.​​​​

Companies are Evaluating Solutions Now

​The FCC is set to auction the remaining C-band spectrum, 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, 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.
