Case Study: Cable Onda achieves a unified, cross-network TV headend and 4K-ready user experience with AWS Elemental

Cable Onda Employs Full Suite of Elemental Solutions to Power Unified Headend

Cable Onda, a leading pay-TV provider in Panama, needed to unify its legacy cable, broadband and mobile services to stay competitive and deliver a consistent, high-quality experience across devices. The operator wanted to add OTT and catch-up TV, networked PVR and VOD, reduce operating costs, simplify management and prepare for future 4K services while maintaining a single, modern user interface for subscribers.

Working with Elemental, Cable Onda built an in‑house unified headend using Elemental Live with statistical multiplexing, Elemental Server and file-based appliances, plus Elemental Conductor for system management. The solution delivers content over HFC, broadband and mobile for TV Everywhere, supports HEVC for future 4K rollouts and integrates with a new set-top box — producing a next-generation subscriber experience that lowers operational complexity and helps retain and grow the audience.
