NetActuate Deploys NETINT VPU Acceleration in 15 Global Locations

Amsterdam – September 17, 2026 -- NetActuate has activated NETINT Quadra Video Processing Units (VPUs) in 15 of its global points of presence, offering engineering teams a self-service alternative to hyperscaler transcoding services and direct hardware procurement.

VPU-as-a-Service eliminates hardware procurement for video encoding teams

The expansion builds on a partnership between NetActuate and NETINT Technologies first announced in February 2026. Customers can attach a NETINT VPU directly to a virtual machine or managed Kubernetes node via secure passthrough, gaining full pipeline control, tooling, and observability without buying servers or VPU cards outright. Bare metal integrations are also available, and additional custom deployments can be built in markets beyond the initial 15 locations.

NetActuate Launches 110-Appliance Media Marketplace on Global Edge

Amsterdam – September 15, 2026 -- NetActuate has launched a curated marketplace of more than 110 media, streaming, transcode, and delivery appliances for one-click deployment across its global edge anycast network, spanning over 45 locations worldwide.

NetActuate charges zero listing fees or revenue share on marketplace appliances

Customers pay only for the compute an appliance runs on. Commercial software follows a bring-your-own-license model, with vendor keys applied at first boot and never stored, while open source appliances require no license at all.

NetActuate Launches Managed MoQ Relay Network for Live Streaming

Amsterdam – September 12, 2026 -- NetActuate has launched MoQ Relay, a managed Media over QUIC delivery network that lets broadcasters and streaming platforms publish a live feed once and distribute it to subscribers from relay capacity in more than 45 locations worldwide.

Relay tests show a single feed can multiply reach without added backbone cost

In internal testing across a four-relay setup, one relay delivered sixteen times more video output while drawing the same backbone capacity required to serve a single viewer. NetActuate says this decouples audience size from network cost, a key constraint as satellite capacity used for broadcast distribution is being scaled back globally.

NetActuate Puts C-Band Transition Program on New Media Substrate

Amsterdam – – September 11, 2026 -- NetActuate has moved its 2026 C-Band Transition Acceleration Program onto the NetActuate Media Substrate, a transport layer the company is introducing at IBC 2026, giving U.S. broadcasters a terrestrial path off C-band satellite ahead of a federally mandated spectrum auction.

Broadcasters get a redundant path without buying a second circuit

The program, first announced at NAB, now runs on infrastructure NetActuate already operates. A station group sends one stream and receives one stream while the company runs diverse paths beneath it. In a blackout test cited by the company, one path was taken fully dark and the merged output lost no data.

NetActuate Launches Media Substrate for Live Broadcast Redundancy

Amsterdam – September 11, 2026 -- NetActuate today launched the Media Substrate, a managed transport layer that runs redundant paths for contribution-grade live video across more than 45 global locations, available immediately in the company's Customer Portal ahead of IBC 2026.

Broadcasters send one stream while NetActuate manages dual paths beneath it

The service lets broadcasters send a single stream and receive a single stream, while NetActuate runs diverse paths across its network, merges them at egress, and measures latency and continuity on every hop. In a blackout test cited by the company, one path was taken fully dark and the merged output lost no data.
