Reuters is working with TVU Networks on a phased migration from satellite to a cloud-managed, IP-based live news distribution model.
The new infrastructure is already live in its first region, with global deployment progressing strategically.
The new cloud-managed IP infrastructure is powered by TVU MediaHub and TVU NOC (Network Operations Centre).
“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,” explained Johannes Heckmann, senior solutions architect at TVU Networks. “This architecture enables software-defined distribution with real-time observability, automated failover, and dynamic scaling of cloud compute and network capacity.”
According to TVU Networks, the move to IP delivers higher audio and video stream quality which is more consistent, secure, and reliable across all conditions and regions.
The cloud infrastructure incorporates geographically distributed redundancy and automated failover mechanisms to safeguard continuity in real-world scenarios.
As the project moves into its next phase, Reuters is aiming to scale signals in real time and integrate new workflows without touching physical infrastructure, adapting distribution capacity to match the pace of live news.
“Our responsibility is to preserve the reliability our customers depend on while improving the quality and consistency of our live distribution signals worldwide,” said Joseph Delshadian, director of content distribution at Reuters. “This migration enables us to strengthen both while supporting our long-term distribution strategy.”
