Case Study: Frontier Communications achieves nationwide next-generation IPTV, multiscreen UHD streaming with AWS Elemental on-premises and cloud

Frontier Communications Deploys AWS Elemental On Premises and in the Cloud for Nationwide Video Service

Frontier Communications deployed AWS Elemental to power its Vantage TV by Frontier service, facing the challenge of unifying cable and IPTV architectures to deliver next-generation linear, on-demand and multiscreen video — including Ultra‑High Definition — across nationwide and remote broadband markets while handling dynamic VOD scaling and multiscreen delivery.

Using AWS Elemental’s software-based, on‑premises and cloud solutions, Frontier implemented unified headends for local and national processing, cloud transcoding for VOD, and the Elemental Delta platform for just‑in‑time packaging and DRM. The result is a flexible, scalable next‑generation IPTV platform that supports high‑quality live, VOD and multiscreen streaming to consumers’ devices nationwide.
