Get Fazzt: Making the content distributor’s life easy

What is Fazzt?

First, it’s pronounced "Fast"—as in speedy, swift, efficient.

Next, it’s KenCast’s managed content delivery platform, designed for high-stakes, high-performance environments where flawless data and video delivery is mission-critical.

Fazzt® is a hybrid system capable of file and stream delivery over satellite (GEO, MEO, LEO), ATSC 3.0, cellular, and terrestrial fiber. Our customers value the ability to manage both satellite and terrestrial networks through a single system—switching seamlessly between them to reduce costs without adding complexity.

Built for Demanding Delivery

Fazzt is engineered to optimize performance in real-world environments where bandwidth fluctuates, connectivity drops, and latency can be a deal-breaker.

Coupled with KenCast’s full feature set—priority scheduling, encryption, dynamic bandwidth management, queue controls, and error correction—Fazzt offers a best-in-class solution for point-to-point or point-to-many delivery of critical content anywhere, anytime. Over decades, KenCast has continuously evolved this versatile platform in close collaboration with our global customer base so that today, Fazzt incorporates an extensive set of integrated capabilities that address nearly every content delivery requirement right out of the box.

Some Capabilities at a Glance

• Managed Content Delivery: Delivery is initiated and managed by central server ensuring only authorized clients can access content. Supports both “push” and “pull” services enabling content to be sent to or requested by clients. Includes tools for access control, search, forwarding, and more for both files and live streams.

• Bandwidth Management: Queues (FIFO etc.) and real time prioritization of deliveries. Opportunistic Data Insertion (ODI) utilizes available bandwidth not used on by other applications. Subdivide bandwidth across channels and users. Bonding of multiple channels to increase throughput and resiliency.

• Compatibility: Software compatible with numerous operating systems (Window, Linux, etc.), architectures (x64/32, ARM), environments (PC, container, cloud, etc.), and hardware (servers, PCs, phones, STB, IoT devices, etc.).

• Distributed Architecture: Scalable with server multi-node support for load balancing and disaster recovery functionality. Supports distributed content contributors tunneling through central server for bandwidth sharing and control.

• QUIC Transport Support: With built-in support for the standards-based QUIC protocol over UDP, Fazzt drastically reduces latency while boosting delivery speeds.

• Military-Grade Encryption: FIPS-compliant and supports AES-256 + user-defined options

• Multicast + Dynamic Channels: Target multiple endpoints with file and/or live stream delivery across variable networks

• Selective Reception & Validation: Receivers can filter content by file/group and validate automatically

• Smart Queue & Bandwidth Management: Priority-based scheduling, subchannel reservation, and load balancing

• Integrated Web GUI: Built-in management interface for status, scheduling, alerting, and SNMP-based monitoring

• Rule-Based Forwarding: Automate routing and retransmissions based on channel, filename, or content type

• Multiprocessing & Redundancy: Scale via co-located nodes with automatic failover

• Secure Tunneling: Share delivery infrastructure while maintaining independent publisher control.
