This partnership utilizes swXtch.io’s cloudSwXtch intelligent media network, which offers multicast connectivity and elasticity essential for real-time communication in global live production environments. The collaboration aims to deliver on-premise-level features and performance with low latency.
First Live Deployment in Major Sports Event
The initial live implementation of this collaboration occurred in the summer, supporting production teams from a global broadcaster and a regional sports network. The event demonstrated cloudSwXtch’s ability to serve as a gateway for Telos Infinity VIP, Telos Alliance’s virtual intercom platform. Telos Infinity VIP operates without a traditional intercom matrix, utilizing a networked architecture that simplifies bringing live voice communication into IT infrastructures. This capability allows teams to replicate multipoint configurations in a cloud environment seamlessly.
Addressing Latency and Multilingual Communication
cloudSwXtch enabled efficient connectivity between Telos Infinity VIP software panels across continents, including Europe and North America, and integrated them with physical on-premise systems. The solution minimized delays in voice communication, supporting up to 22 language broadcasts across Europe. Telos Alliance highlighted that cloudSwXtch’s multicast switching capabilities eliminate latency issues, transforming intercom usage in cloud-based environments.
Continuing Collaboration for Future Solutions
The companies plan to further explore cloud networking advancements to support TV and radio businesses transitioning to the cloud. According to Brent Yates, CEO of swXtch.io, cloudSwXtch addresses network challenges in cloud migration, especially for applications needing multicast functionality. The collaboration enables effective communication for production teams in live broadcast settings, making enterprise-level cloud-based intercoms a practical reality.
