KenCast’s Fazzt Digital Delivery Platform® is the best and most complete broadband multicast/unicast solution for the reliable and secure delivery of content. The basic components of Fazzt are a transmitting server, one or more receiving clients, and an end-to-end management system that monitors and actively optimizes the performance of the network.

  • High reliability is achieved through KenCast’s patented Fazzt Forward Error Correction technology, which enables each receive site to recover missing packets without requiring retransmissions by the host.
  • Patented validation technology provides further assurance of error-free delivery.
  • Efficiency is continuously optimized by sophisticated network and bandwidth management software, performance monitoring tools, compression technology and other capabilities.
  • Security is bolstered through options to incorporate the most popular encryption tools available.

FAZZT® 9 SOFTWARE

Now on version 9.2, Fazzt digital delivery software has been in the market for more than 20 years. Our Fazzt Enterprise Server– the core of each network – supports multiple complex workflows, dynamic bandwidth allocation, rules-based file handling, encryption and error correction, among a long list of features.

If you have unique requirements, our Scripting Engine lets you customize almost every aspect of Fazzt. Though we focused primarily on satellite-based networks during our early years, we natively support terrestrial and cellular networks as well.

FAZZT FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION

KenCast’s multi-patented Fazzt Forward Error Correction (Fazzt FEC®), enables each receive site to recover missing, out-of-order or corrupted packets without requiring retransmissions by the host. The level and type of protection to be carried on the transmission can be pre-set by the application administrator and is automatically adjusted for loss experience, weather conditions, quality requirement for the particular transmission, and other factors. Without FEC, encrypted but incomplete files cannot be decrypted and must be re-sent. However, FEC-protected files can be reconstructed even with missing or corrupted packets.
