Fazzt Data Distribution Software
Deliver files and streams to thousands of endpoints—simultaneously, securely, flawlessly.
One transmission. Thousands of receivers. Zero errors.
The Fazzt® software suite distributes data & content over any network—satellite, 5G, ATSC 3.0, IoT or fiber—with patented error correction that guarantees perfect delivery the first time. Trusted by the Defense, Government, Hollywood studios, and global news networks for nearly 30 years.
Seamless, Secure Delivery Powered by SmartFEC
Fazzt is a self-hosted, all-in-one software suite for data distribution used across Government and Defense, Digital Cinema, Broadcast & Media, Mobility, and Critical Communications environments to deliver data and/or video stream of any type or size
Paired with KenCast’s patented Application Layer (AL) Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithms, Fazzt has evolved through three decades of real-world deployment and direct customer input. Customers value Fazzt as a versatile “Swiss Army knife” for IP distribution, natively incorporating the features and operational controls required by modern data distributors over IP for delivering mission-critical data and/or video stream at scale—making complex distribution environments easier to manage, monitor, and optimize. Beyond this, KenCast’s engineering team brings deep domain expertise, working closely with customers to refine and extend the platform to meet specific and unique requirements.
On the transmitting side, Fazzt includes the Enterprise Server, which supports both multicast and unicast distribution. It can be deployed as a single node or configured for failover, load balancing, and high availability using dual-node or multi-node architectures. Enterprise Server deployments are further customizable as single-site or limited-site servers to align with operational scope and licensing requirements. Fazzt also includes the Contribution Server, which ingests and prepares data and feeds it into the Enterprise Server for downstream network delivery. All transmitting components are available as software-only deployments for hosts or VM installments or embedded within dedicated hardware platforms.
