From 13 to 16 September, Orange will be at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2025 to share its vision for a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that will meet future broadcasting challenges.
When we talk about a CDN, we mean a network of servers around the world that bring content closer to users. It’s what makes sure that video streams quickly, smoothly, and securely wherever you are.
And the market is changing fast. Streaming is booming, audiences are more fragmented, and new satellite players are entering the space. That’s why we’re doubling down on our role: building a telco-grade CDN with the same reliability, security, and quality as telecom networks. A CDN designed for the most demanding broadcasters, and one that makes sovereign distribution possible, on the ground and even in the sky.
A market in motion, rising expectations
The IBC is a strategic event because broadcasters are all asking the same questions. During a championship final or a worldwide launch, everyone expects a flawless image, delivered instantly and securely, no matter what screen they’re watching on. That’s what IBC is all about, and it’s the perfect stage to share our approach.
Ultra-HD streaming on every screen
4K and 8K are becoming the standard. Audiences peak during live moments. And a single program now lives on TV, streaming platforms, and social media at the same time. We’re scoping our CDN to handle these peaks, keep start-up times short, and maintain stable quality on every channel.
Zero lag, zero dropouts
The expectation is simple: no interruptions and instant response, everywhere. By placing content closer to users and interconnecting directly with operator networks, we make sure streams stay smooth and reliable.
Growing risks: cyberattacks, signal hijacking, network failures, etc.
Larger audiences bring greater risks, such as cyberattacks, hijacked streams, and network outages. With Trusted Web Protection, we stop attacks and keep content safe. Continuous monitoring and redundant pathways keep broadcasts running, even when challenges arise.
Broadcasters need a partner that can handle record audiences without compromising the experience. Our telco-grade approach delivers that end-to-end reliability.
Telco-grade infrastructure for demanding content
By Telco grade, we mean a game-changing, operator-built CDN that can be connected directly to fixed and mobile networks. This ensures content takes the shortest path to viewers. This means faster start times and steady quality, even as audience numbers spike.
Our footprint is worldwide, with strong coverage in Europe and Africa, and points of presence placed right where they’re needed most.
Security is built in from the start. Trusted Web Protection shields video streams and APIs, keeping services running smoothly. And trust itself is central to our positioning: Being a trusted CDN is our trademark.
Our edge is that we control the entire chain, from access networks to caches. That guarantees a more stable and secure delivery than pure-Internet approaches.
See our solutions first-hand
This year, we’re sharing our vision of resilient and sovereign delivery, while showcasing how a telco-grade CDN and Trusted Web Protection answer the challenges of performance, security, and continuity.
Our teams will be on site to talk with you about sovereignty, the mix of terrestrial and satellite, live event resilience, and cost optimization, and to explore the solutions that best fit your needs.
