At NAB Show 2026, LTN will focus on satellite-to-IP migration for broadcasters, cable networks, MVPDs, and station groups.
At Booth W2100, the company will demonstrate how its global IP network supports large-scale channel distribution and live sports workflows.
As C-Band spectrum auctions get closer, media companies are looking for scalable video transport alternatives. Therefore, LTN is positioning its network as a reliable option for organizations moving from satellite to IP.
Satellite-to-IP Migration Focus
LTN will show how broadcast and cable networks can move hundreds of channels from C-Band to its low-latency global IP network. The company says the offering includes conditional access, intelligent routing, deep video monitoring, and tooling, along with always-on technical operations center support.
Malik Khan, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder at LTN, said the industry is moving hundreds of channels and important live sports workflows to reliable IP alternatives. He also said this shift will be a major topic at NAB Show 2026.
Open Network and Partner Ecosystem
LTN will also highlight its open network approach and partner ecosystem. According to the company, expanded interoperability across headends and platforms is helping simplify satellite migration and support IP-native live video workflows.
The company specifically points to partnerships with Dataminer, Harmonic, and MediaKind. In addition, LTN will present the public debut of its integration with Appear’s ultra-low-latency encoding platform.
Live Sports, Master Control, and Versioning
Another area of focus will be live sports contribution and venue access. LTN says its IP network supports all-IP contribution workflows for demanding live sports environments.
The company will also demonstrate its live sports master control, playout, and content versioning tools. These technologies are designed to support customized delivery and localized advertising across digital, OTT, and FAST platforms.
NAB Show 2026 Panel Participation
LTN will also take part in several NAB Show sessions with customers and partners. These include a panel with Tennis Channel on IP transition, a PMVG session on NextGen TV in public media, a discussion on satellite replacement, and a BEIT session on expanding streaming channel lineups while growing brand and revenue.
Network Scale and Industry Use
LTN says its multicast IP distribution network delivers video with less than 200 milliseconds of latency and SLA-backed availability. The company adds that its network distributes more than 8,000 channels and 1 million live sports events each year.
According to LTN, the company has already supported satellite-to-IP migrations for organizations including Tennis Channel, TelevisaUnivision, Scripps Networks, MSG Networks, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, and MovieSphere.
