Case Study: Satellite TV Provider achieves fast, secure online payments and PCI DSS compliance with F5 Networks

Satellite TV Provider Achieves Fast, Secure Online Payment Processing with F5 Solution

Satellite TV Provider, a major U.S. satellite TV broadcaster serving over 14 million customers, needed a fast, stable customer-facing website and PCI DSS‑compliant online credit card processing to retain subscribers and avoid costly compliance work or fines. To meet those goals it turned to F5 Networks, deploying BIG‑IP LTM with the BIG‑IP ASM module to protect application traffic and secure payment transactions.

F5 Networks implemented 34 BIG‑IP ADCs across three U.S. data centers (with BIG‑IP ASM where needed), a rollout that was installed and passing traffic in under a day. The solution stabilized website performance, brought the provider into PCI DSS compliance, consolidated front-end Apache servers from 16 to 2, and secured call center access for some 3,500 agents—delivering measurable cost savings, reduced downtime, and safer online credit card processing.
