RCN Colombia, a leading provider of captivating telenovelas, breaking news, major sporting events, and diverse entertainment with a broad audience across the Latin American region, has seen a significant increase in demand in the U.S. as interest in Spanish-language content grows.

By utilizing Zixi-as-a-Service (ZaaS), RCN has seamlessly transitioned to a cost-effective cloud infrastructure while maintaining the reliability traditionally associated with satellite delivery. At the core of this transformation is Zixi Broadcaster, which serves as a bridge for content from local sources to the cloud. Within the cloud environment, Zixi’s Software-Defined Video Platform (SDVP) efficiently processes and distributes content to affiliates, all managed by ZEN Master, the cloud control plane that ensures operational efficiency and end-to-end visibility.

Over 1,000 media companies rely on Zixi’s enabled network, supported by more than 400 technology partners, allowing content owners like RCN to easily expand their audience reach. The widespread adoption of Zixi by major U.S. operators, including Charter, Dish, and Verizon, enabled RCN to transition from traditional workflows to IP-based distribution without the need for new developments or concerns from partners. With the switch to IP distribution enabled by Zixi’s SDVP, the new system not only accelerates the onboarding of new affiliates but also enhances operational agility and reduces costs. By replacing cumbersome satellite farms with optimized local servers and leveraging Zixi’s extensive enabled network, RCN can deliver its content to new markets and explore additional revenue streams without the burden of significant initial infrastructure costs.

“The U.S. is experiencing a significant increase in demand for high-quality Latin American programming, and RCN Colombia, with its excellent programming, is well-positioned to meet that demand. However, traditional satellite workflows were not sufficient to scale distribution efficiently,” said Omar Silva, Director of Telecommunications at RCN. “Zixi provides the flexibility and scalability that RCN needs, keeping costs low and simplifying the process with its comprehensive solution.”

“Zixi has been delivering content to partners and audiences around the world, and our extensive experience in managing large-scale workflows is incredibly valuable to our customers,” said Bruno Forchieri, Senior Sales Director at Zixi. “We support our customers from the design phase through implementation, allowing them to focus on business growth.”
