Synamedia and Telxius add real-time CDN switching to Quortex Switch
Synamedia and Telxius announced an integration that brings Telxius’ carrier-grade CDN into the Quortex Switch multi-CDN management platform. The collaboration is intended to let content providers switch viewers between CDNs in real time based on QoE and cost, while supporting end-to-end traffic control, scalability, and disaster recovery.
Key Takeaways
- Telxius’ carrier-grade CDN is now integrated into Synamedia’s Quortex Switch multi-CDN management platform.
- The system can steer viewers between CDNs in real time using Quality of Experience and cost signals.
- Telxius says its CDN reaches millions of global users through its IP transit role with ISPs, Tier 1 IP backbone, and submarine cable systems.
- Quortex Switch was launched last year as a SaaS platform with open standard APIs, instant deployment, and mid-stream switching without modifying players or apps.
Why It Matters
This gives content providers a concrete way to move traffic between CDNs during playback, using QoE and cost as the decision inputs. It also ties Telxius’ CDN reach and backbone infrastructure into Synamedia’s Quortex Switch control layer, combining delivery coverage with multi-CDN orchestration. For the broader streaming stack, the relevant signal is whether providers adopt the integration for live traffic control and disaster recovery, not just for onboarding another CDN. Watch for any deployment details on which services use Quortex Switch and whether Telxius or Synamedia cites customer rollouts.
