NetActuate provides infrastructure and networking support to the broadcast and media industry, powering the transition from cloud streaming to VPU-as-a-Service, satellite to IP, and from siloed operations to predictable, global edge delivery. Come see us in the NETINT booth 1.D49, meet us at the Future of Satellite Replacement and SundAI Breakfasts, join us on a Fun Run and Happy Hour, and book time to meet with our team throughout the week.
VPU Capacity Without a Hardware Cycle
NetActuate is teaming up with NETINT to put VPU-as-a-Service on display in the NETINT booth at IBC 2026.
The collaboration makes NETINT Quadra VPUs available as a self-service accelerator option on NetActuate infrastructure, including Cloud, Managed Kubernetes, and Bare Metal, across our 45+ global PoPs.
Provides distributed infrastructure for accessing NETINT VPU-powered encoding and transcoding capacity.
Helps teams test real workloads before committing to owned infrastructure.
Supports customers that need speed, regional reach, flexibility, or a faster path from pilot to production.
Learn more about NETINT VPU Acceleration, see VPU-as-a-Service in the NETINT Booth 1.D49, and schedule a time to meet up.
Where Does the Signal Go Next?: Navigating the Distribution Transition
NetActuate is proud to be a Bronze sponsor of Where Does the Signal Go Next?, hosted by the Hive Group at IBC 2026, Friday, September 11, 7:30 AM - 10:30 AM CEST.
As operators move from satellite to IP, they will require a variety of approaches and partnerships. No single company can do it all. NetActuate’s global network of 45+ POPs connected through BGP Anycast, allows our partners to:
Execute multi-site edge buildouts across a global footprint.
Integrate transport and compute so infrastructure and connectivity aren't managed as separate problems.
Deliver Satellite/C-band workflows over IP with predictable operations, backed by broadcast-grade reliability.
Learn more about C-Band Transition Acceleration, and schedule a time to meet up.
