Case Study: Cisneros Media achieves fast, reliable large-file transfers from Latin America to the US with Signiant’s Media Shuttle

Cisneros Media Overcomes Regional Bandwidth Challenges with Signiant’s Media Shuttle

Cisneros Media, the global media division behind Venevision and one of the largest Spanish-language content producers, faced a critical distribution challenge: reliably moving very large, time‑sensitive video files from Caracas to Miami over Venezuelan networks often limited to 15 Mbps. Unreliable FTP transfers and two-day physical shipments regularly delayed delivery of telenovelas, sports and talk shows to U.S. partners.

By deploying Signiant’s Media Shuttle as a corporate-wide file transfer solution, Cisneros implemented secure, end-to-end file-based workflows that perform well even over low-bandwidth links. The company now sends 25–50 GB files in hours (for example, nightly 50 GB episodes delivered by morning and multi-GB rush transfers several times daily), eliminating failed FTP transfers and physical media shipments while greatly improving speed, reliability and productivity.
