Luxembourg - Inverto, a leading developer of broadcast and broadband transmission and reception technologies, today announced a strategic collaboration with SES, a leading space solutions company, to accelerate the development and commercial rollout of Q-streamTM, Inverto’s state-of-the-art, end-to-end content delivery solution based on the DVB-NIP (Native IP) standard.
Q-streamTM leverages DVB-NIP to support seamless distribution of IP-based video streams directly to devices, enabling operators and content providers to deliver richer, more flexible viewing experiences. Working closely with SES, Inverto will extend Q-stream’s feature set to incorporate:
- Video on Demand (VOD) via Broadcast Networks - A capability that allows broadcasters and platform operators to deliver on-demand content over satellite using efficient multicast distribution, reducing bandwidth costs while reaching audiences at scale.
- Linear and Non-Linear Targeted Advertising - Q-stream’s advanced ad-insertion framework allows personalized advertising experiences within both live, time-shifted and VoD viewing environments. By combining deterministic satellite IP-based delivery with personalization, operators can unlock new monetization models without compromising reach.
- Enhanced Hybrid Broadcast–Broadband Operation - The solution empowers operators to serve connected TVs, set-top boxes and mobile devices, combining the reliability of satellite with the flexibility of broadband for seamless consumer experiences.
With the combined expertise of Inverto in hardware and software innovation and SES’s unmatched global satellite network, the enhanced Q-streamTM solution will enable:
- Highly scalable, secure, IP content delivery to millions of devices
- Efficient distribution of Catch-up TV and VOD libraries over satellite
- Personalized advertising at broadcast scale
- Integration into future 5G/NTN and other IP-native environments
- Reliable delivery even in underserved or bandwidth-constrained regions
“In working with SES, we are accelerating the transformation of satellite broadcasting into a fully IP-enabled ecosystem,” said Christophe Perini, CEO, Inverto. “Q-streamTM built on the DVB-NIP standard will empower operators to deliver modern, app-like user experiences with unprecedented efficiency and scale.”
“We see DVB-NIP as a pivotal enabler for the next era of media satellite distribution,” said Steve Bisenius, VP, Customer Solutions Engineering at SES. “Together with Inverto, we are excited to bring innovative solutions that blend broadcast reach with in-home IP-driven video streaming, personalization and interactivity.”
The deal marks a significant milestone in the evolution of satellite-enabled secure media distribution, unlocking new possibilities for scalable, high-quality content delivery across hybrid and IP-native ecosystems.
