Point to multipoint:
starting right from our own home

LTN was born where many great ideas are born — in good company, at the dining room table.

The conversation that took place in 2007 among the co-founders of LTN ignited a movement of groundbreaking possibilities and innovation. As the small team hypothesized the digital world to come — focused on reliable, limitless, IP-powered transmission beyond the public internet — the idea of the LTN Network began to take shape.


When our customers push us, great things happen

After nearly three years of innovation and invention, we set out to prove the value of our network to our very first client, a New York-based broadcast network affiliate. On June 24, 2010, we watched our IP network flawlessly transport remote interviews from a network affiliate station in Alabama directly to the network’s studio in NYC.

By successfully challenging the status quo of traditional broadcast delivery, we drew the attention of the industry. We demonstrated a reliable solution, replacing satellite and fiber, while avoiding packet loss, which had been a major problem with transporting video over the internet. Today, this remains an obstacle that LTN continues to successfully eliminate for customers. 

LTN has been empowering media companies all over the world with a new way to deliver content reliably and rapidly over IP. We became a partner that would build an Ecosystem of solutions needed to compete in a digital world, while continuing to also cater to traditional, linear broadcast.
