Level 3 Address Globalization of Broadcast Content With Internet-based Broadcast Solution

Level 3 Communications has developed a broadcast video solution delivered over the Internet – Vyvx Internet Access – to address technology advances and the continuous rise in demand for access to more content from more locations around the world. An expansion of Level 3’s Video Cloud portfolio, Vyvx Internet Access is designed to allow media companies to more easily and efficiently distribute content on a global scale.

Level 3 Vyvx Internet Access leverages the Internet to offer a more cost-effective way for broadcasters to deliver content both regionally and globally.

Major broadcasters, events, colleges and universities, and local broadcast stations have expressed a strong need for lower-cost connectivity to the Vyvx network for disaster recovery, sports contribution, access to remote news stations, and full-time distribution of television signals to MVPD, MSO and DTH platforms.

When Vyvx Internet Access is combined with Level 3’s Secure Internet Services (SIS), customers are provided an end-to-end performance service level agreement (SLA) from a single solution provider to meet content companies growing needs for video, data and voice services.

For more than 25 years, some of the largest media and entertainment companies in the U.S., Latin America and Europe have trusted Level 3’s Vyvx broadcast technology to transmit mission-critical video for world news, sports, and major events.

Level 3 will begin rolling out Vvyx Internet Access in October 2015, with completion slated for early 2016.
