Organisations moving to OTT and hybrid delivery models are discovering that individual platforms and point solutions can each perform well in isolation, yet still fail to deliver the consistent, reliable experience audiences and advertisers expect. The gap isn't in the technology. It's in the infrastructure that connects it all.
In this session, Levira brings together infrastructure specialists and industry practitioners to explore what it actually takes to close that gap: technically, operationally, and commercially. partners on where integration breaks down — and how to design workflows that hold under pressure
- Why hybrid architectures are replacing single-vendor OTT stacks — and what that shift means for day-to-day operations
- The latency imperative: what sub-10-second delivery actually requires at the infrastructure level, and where organisations are still falling short
- Running FAST, SVOD and live sports in a single stack and whether managed services can genuinely bridge the gap between them
- Case study: how Levira connects playout, delivery, CDN and monitoring as a unified managed service for a major content operator [client name TBC]
- A practical discussion with technology partners on where integration breaks down — and how to design workflows that hold under pressure
This session is designed for heads of streaming, distribution and digital operations; CTOs and technical leads responsible for live and linear infrastructure; and commercial leads evaluating managed service partnerships.
The phrase 'broadcast grade' used to mean something specific: resilient infrastructure, rigorous monitoring, and human accountability for every frame of output. As streaming has scaled, much of that rigour has been left behind replaced by platform promises and best-effort delivery models that weren't built for the demands of live sport, breaking news, or high-stakes linear broadcasting.
This session asks a direct question: what does broadcast-grade actually mean in 2026 and how do you build it into a modern streaming infrastructure?
Timed ahead of IBC 2026, this is a technically grounded, example-led conversation for engineers, architects and operations leaders who are responsible for making streaming work when it matters most.
- From satellite to IP: what broadcasters are actually losing in the transition and the operational steps required to recover it
- Resilience by design: how monitoring, failover and redundancy need to be architected into managed streaming infrastructure from the start
- Content authenticity and provenance: why trusted media is becoming an operational requirement and what C2PA and emerging standards mean in practice
- Managed CDN and edge delivery: how Levira connects the last mile for live events at scale, from sports finals to multi-territory broadcasts
- Levira in practice: a technical walkthrough of a complex live streaming deployment drawing on real examples from sports, broadcast and events
- Panel: What does 'broadcast grade' mean to you in 2026? Industry voices respond
This session is for broadcast engineers, streaming architects and infrastructure leads; heads of technology and operations responsible for live services; and anyone attending IBC 2026 who wants to arrive with the conversations already started.
