STS hosts broadcast-grade encoding and decoding hardware, to send and receive Zixi, SRT and RIST feeds, using Livelink’s fully managed end-to-end service.

Cerberus Tech’s Livelink Service Network provides IP delivery as a managed service and builds increased connectivity in regions often challenging or expensive to reach with traditional broadcasting methods. Livelink moves broadcast-grade feeds via IP from any location to any destination, at lower cost than most traditional methods. Customers can transport live linear and OTT content from point-to-point or point to multipoint, with the option of self-serve or fully-managed content services. Livelink combines a protocol-agnostic, multi-cloud compatible infrastructure with low-latency reach, and is facilitated by a global network of technical partners.
