Case Study: FOXTEL achieves high-speed content ingest and automated workflows with Aspera

FOXTEL Implements The Aspera Orchestrator As The Core of Its New Contribution File Delivery System

FOXTEL, Australia’s largest subscription television provider reaching 1.63 million homes with 200+ channels, faced rising costs and inefficiencies as the industry shifted from tape to file‑based workflows. The broadcaster needed to eliminate tape shipping, automate content ingest, management and reporting across its broadcast chain, and boost employee productivity.

FOXTEL implemented Aspera’s suite (Orchestrator, Enterprise Server, Point‑to‑Point and Clients) to build a scalable, automated contribution system. High‑speed uploads with virus scanning, metadata pairing and routing to HD/SD storage, plus precise bandwidth control and transfer prioritization, delivered faster, more reliable transfers, reduced operational costs, automated reporting and improved operational visibility for billing and scheduling.
