LTN has expanded its technology partnership with Harmonic, as part of its plans to support the expected volume of broadcast and cable networks preparing for the realities of the upcoming Federal Communications Commission auction and the ensuing C-band spectrum scarcity.
The integrated solution combines Harmonic’s VOS 360 Media SaaS and XOS Advanced Media Processor with LTN’s global IP network. Together, the companies intend to deliver unified workflows for large-scale C-band migration and IP channel delivery to multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), virtual multichannel video programming distributors (vMVPDs), and local broadcast stations.
LTN explained that as C-band capacity declines, the expanded partnership provides channel originators with a structured path to transition from legacy satellite to IP while maintaining reliability and operational continuity. The combined infrastructure supports parallel migration strategies, advanced video processing, targeted ad insertion, and high-volume channel deployment within a monitored, managed environment.
Malik Khan, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman at LTN, said: “The industry has moved beyond debating whether the shift from satellite to IP will happen. It is happening already. Expanding our partnership with Harmonic allows us to deliver a proven, scalable distribution infrastructure model that gives our customers confidence without compromise. Together, we’re enabling customers to execute C-band migration with the reliability and operational visibility required for mission-critical services, while accelerating multiple types of monetisation and customisation.”
Gil Rudge, Senior Vice President of Solutions, Americas Sales, and Video Business at Harmonic, added: “Programmers are under increasing pressure to scale digital distribution while navigating the realities of C-band spectrum changes. By deepening our partnership with LTN, we’re combining Harmonic’s advanced video processing and monetisation technologies with a proven, fully managed IP network to deliver a seamless path forward. Together, we are ensuring that broadcasters can seamlessly migrate away from legacy satellite infrastructure while maintaining flexibility, high performance, and broadcast-grade service reliability for primary distribution.”
