Broadcast Media & Telecom
'“Keeping Systems Live, Connected, and Future-Ready”
Homepage > Areas of Expertise > Broadcast Media Technology
In Broadcast and Telecommunications, change doesn’t happen overnight. Despite the buzz around IP-based workflows, cloud migration, and automation, many businesses are still running on legacy systems that “just work” - until they don’t. The challenge isn’t just about adopting new technology; it’s about ensuring seamless uptime, integrating with existing infrastructure, and avoiding costly disruptions to live services.
At Caspian One, we understand that the broadcast chain is highly interdependent - from playout and content distribution to the networks keeping everything connected. We work with broadcasters, content owners, Pay-TV operators, and system integrators to provide the specialist IT and infrastructure expertise needed to modernise critical systems, scale connectivity, and ensure resilience in a 24/7 industry. Whether it’s migrating core broadcast services to the cloud, strengthening cybersecurity, or delivering high-performance networking solutions, we help our clients future-proof their operations while keeping everything running smoothly.
Clients & Challenges:
Navigating Complexity in a 24/7 Industry
Broadcast Media is a world where uptime is everything. Whether it’s live content delivery, playout operations, or network infrastructure, every system is interconnected, and even the slightest disruption can have significant commercial and reputational consequences.
At the same time, organisations must contend with legacy systems, the transition to IP-based infrastructure, and an evolving security landscape. Balancing these demands while maintaining scalability, efficiency, and resilience is no small task.
Broadcasters & Content Owners
Supporting linear TV, OTT platforms, VoD services, and live production teams with expertise in cloud migrations, media asset management (MAM), playout, and IP-based workflows
Telecoms & Pay-TV Operators
Helping providers scale 5G networks, video IP delivery, and broadcast connectivity solutions to improve service delivery and manage competition-driven hiring challenges
Technology Vendors & System Integrators
Partnering with firms that design, implement, and support the technologies underpinning modern media operations, from broadcast control systems to network infrastructure
Broadcast Service Providers & Managed Service Operators (MSOs)
Working with organisations that deliver content distribution, managed playout, and connectivity services to broadcasters and telecoms, ensuring high availability and performance
-
Who it impacts: Broadcasters, telecoms providers, and system integrators
The problem: Many organisations rely on aging, unsupported hardware while attempting to migrate to IP-based and cloud-native solutions. The challenge is maintaining existing services while upgrading infrastructure without causing service disruption
How we help: We provide network engineers, cloud specialists, and DevOps experts with deep knowledge of broadcast IT environments, ensuring a seamless transition while keeping critical services running
-
Who it impacts: All organisations working with IP-based media workflows
The problem: As connectivity increases, so does risk. Broadcasters and service providers are now prime targets for cyber threats, data breaches, and ransomware attacks, with vulnerabilities extending through supply chains and remote access points
How we help: Our cybersecurity and infrastructure specialists implement network hardening, penetration testing, and security automation, helping organisations build resilient, protected systems without compromising performance
-
Who it impacts: Live production teams, OTT platforms, and network providers
The problem: Whether it’s delivering 4K/8K streams, supporting remote production, or expanding 5G infrastructure, organisations need scalable, low-latency networks that can handle real-time video distribution and remote collaboration
How we help: We provide network architects, cloud engineers, and SREs who specialise in high-performance IT for broadcast, ensuring smooth, scalable operations that meet the demands of modern media
-
Who it impacts: Hiring teams across broadcasters, telecoms, and technology vendors
The problem: Broadcast technology requires niche expertise - from IP networking and cloud DevOps to specialist media technologies like MAM, playout, and video compression. With competition for talent at an all-time high, finding the right people is a growing challenge
How we help: With decades of industry expertise and a global network of technical specialists, Caspian One connects clients with top-tier engineers, architects, and DevOps professionals who understand the unique challenges of the broadcast ecosystem
-
Who it impacts: Broadcasters, telecom providers, and system integrators
The problem: Broadcast and telecom networks are built on a patchwork of vendors, legacy contracts, and proprietary systems. Integrating new technology while maintaining interoperability across multiple suppliers is a constant challenge - especially when off-the-shelf solutions don’t always ‘talk’ to each other. Poor vendor coordination can lead to inefficiencies, cost overruns, and service delays
How we help: Caspian One provides specialists in broadcast integration, solutions architecture, and vendor management. We ensure that new and existing systems work seamlessly together, helping clients streamline operations, reduce costs, and eliminate bottlenecks in their technology stack
