Globecast debuts orchestration tools to manage 2027 C-band migration deadline
Globecast will demonstrate its Content Exchange and MooM orchestration platforms at NAB Show New York to assist broadcasters with hybrid infrastructure management and C-band migration. The tools provide an API-driven layer to integrate satellite, fiber, IP, and cloud workflows for improved operational visibility and service continuity.
Key Takeaways
- MooM platform integrates remote production, playout, and OTT delivery into a single software-defined environment.
- Content Exchange provides real-time monitoring and automated provisioning for hybrid live and file-based delivery.
- Globecast has already decommissioned nearly 100 satellite antennas to transition its own hubs to IP-first infrastructure.
- The orchestration layer supports third-party integrations with AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for scalable service launches.
Why It Matters
The upcoming FCC reallocation of the Upper C-band creates a technical bottleneck for broadcasters who rely on satellite for reliable, low-latency distribution. By offering an orchestration layer that abstracts fragmented control systems, Globecast allows operators to test managed IP and cloud redundancy without abandoning existing satellite investments. This shift reflects a broader industry move toward hybrid architectures where software-defined networking replaces fixed hardware dependencies. As the 2027 deadline approaches, the streaming ecosystem will likely see accelerated adoption of API-driven transport to mitigate the risks of spectrum loss. Watch for specific adoption rates of Ku-band and managed fiber as primary alternatives during upcoming NAB field trials.
