Broadcasters shift from satellite to hybrid fibre networks amid regulatory and cost challenges

As consumers increasingly cut the cord and switch to internet-based entertainment, broadcasters face critical capital allocation decisions. Regulatory factors like 5G-driven reallocation of C-band spectrum reduce available bandwidth for TV broadcasters, creating uncertainty. Operationally, multi-hop satellite distribution risks increased latency. Commercially, fibre-based distribution offers a cost-effective option for smaller broadcasters and supports regional content customisation. Tata Communications provides customised, fully managed satellite replacement solutions delivering high-quality compressed video over hybrid fibre and internet networks.
