LONDON, 17 February 2026 – Leading video software provider, Synamedia, today announced that Office de Radio et Télévision des Comores (ORTC), the national public broadcaster for the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean, has gone live with Synamedia Quortex Link to distribute its channels to French content providers. ORTC used to take weeks and significant Capex to set up connections using satellite infrastructure. This can now be achieved in seconds with Synamedia’s pay-as-you-go IP distribution technology while cutting costs by 90%.
After a competitive evaluation, ORTC chose Quortex Link because of its proven reliability, high availability and Synamedia’s top-tier service level agreements. ORTC then went live just two weeks after seeing the proof of concept. Distribution to the first content provider is now live with four more ISPs coming on stream shortly. Using the Quortex Link portal, ORTC now has easy management of its distribution with an end-to-end view of the feeds and no longer relies on a third party.
Quortex Link is a self-service, SaaS platform that makes it quick and easy to set up video distribution links for channels and for occasional-use events with just one click. It delivers live content point-to-point globally using a reliable and secure cloud distribution network. ORTC only pays for the time a link is active, resulting in huge cost savings compared to satellite distribution. Broadcasters benefit by having easy access to video streams using an IP address, secured distribution using the SRT protocol, and no longer require satellite infrastructure.
Hablani Assoumani, General Director of Office de Radio et Télévision des Comores, commented, “It was important that we weren’t locked into a long contract and Quortex Link gives us that flexibility while providing the high levels of reliability we require. We also have the confidence that Synamedia can meet all our needs in the future as we look for features including blackout management and customised transcoding to meet the different resolution and bit rate requirements from different affiliates.”
Elke Hungenaert, Vice President of Product Management, Video Network at Synamedia, “This win demonstrates Quortex Link’s versatility at meeting the distribution needs of so many different types of customers, whatever their size. ORTC’s impressive time to market highlights the benefits that Quortex Link customers achieve with its self-service model and ease of use.”
