Techex and MediaKind have announced a partnership to integrate Techex’s IP transport and orchestration technology, tx edge, directly into MK.IO Beam – giving broadcasters a single platform to ingest, process, and deliver live content reliably across unmanaged IP networks.

Live contribution and distribution over unmanaged IP networks demands broadcast-grade reliability that traditional infrastructure struggles to deliver. Without end-to-end visibility and resilient transport, operators are left managing risk rather than content.

Techex’s tx edge technology – a software-based IP transport and monitoring gateway -alongside its resilient IP transport, deep observability and end-to-end network orchestration, gives operators the confidence to move high-quality content reliably from any source to any destination. 

Integrated directly into MK.IO Beam as an edge device, those capabilities become part of a broadcaster’s core workflow – eliminating the complexity of stitching together separate systems, and positioning MK.IO Beam as a single point of access from contribution to distribution.

“MK.IO Beam changes the commercial model for on-premises contribution,” said Adrian Davis, product director, MediaKind.”PAYG licensing on commodity hardware means cost follows the work, not the infrastructure, giving broadcasters the freedom to scale up or stand down as the work demands.”

“Reliable contribution and distribution over IP is one of the most critical challenges in modern broadcast,” said David Edwards, product manager, Techex. “As broadcasters move away from the cost and inflexibility of satellite, Techex’s tx edge enables robust, flexible stream delivery over unmanaged IP networks, while maintaining the reliability traditionally associated with satellite.”
