RRsat offers a full menu of uplink, downlink and turnaround options that allow you to distribute your content reliably and cost-effectively.

With RRsat, your content remains robust from the moment of ingest until it reaches its final destination. No matter what its origin, form or destination, we safeguard the quality of your video content while taking it where it needs to go.

By satellite uplinkRRsat downlinks from over 70 satellites and uplinks to over 40 satellites, working with tens of satellite operators and 40+ RRsat-operated MCPC digital platforms. We handle SD, HD and 3D content; DVB and DVB-S2 compression; and C-Band, Ku-band or Ka-Band (2.4m to 32m) satellites.

•Downlink your content from any region-Americas, Europe, Africa or Asia Pacific-and turn it around to any region, often in just a single “hop”. We can downlink your content and deliver it directly as is, or regionalize it for multiple locations.

•Uplink your content and deliver it, free-to-air or encrypted, to a diverse global audience over DTH platforms or Over-the-Top of the Internet. Or encrypt it and deliver it to DBS, cable, IPTV and mobile service operators. With RRsat, you choose the satellite that best fits your budget and your destinations.

RRstream lets you stream TV channels to RRsat for global distribution using the secure MPEG over Internet Protocol (MPEGoIP). It ensures low-to-zero latency over standard IP connections, and maintains high content resolution. Use RRstream either as backup for automatic redundancy for your direct fiber connection or as a primary contribution solution for further distribution.

RRinternetTV uses the most advanced technology to transport your content Over-the-Top (OTT) of the Internet. It helps distribute your content to unlimited numbers of Internet viewers continuously, from your website or ours, and at fixed cost even during peak hours. Reach your community directly!

Our POPs in New York serve as hubs for multiple points within the US, including our wholly-owned Hawley Teleport in Pennsylvania.
