Experience unparalleled cost efficiency, versatility, and seamless integration with Nonius Centralised Headend, a cloud-based solution powered by the robust Nonius CDN Platform.
We are thrilled to introduce our latest innovation in hospitality technology — the Nonius Centralised Headend. This solution moves the local headend appliances to the cloud, powered by the robust Nonius CDN Platform. With this advancement, we aim to deliver unmatched cost efficiency and versatility while ensuring seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.

For this solution, Nonius is providing a complete set of components developed by our Nonius R&D Labs, including the Central Headend, CDN Servers, and Edge Cache. We offer two versions for delivery to the hotel cabling infrastructure: one with IP and one over DVB.

Who Benefits?
Our offer is tailor-made for hotel groups which can benefit the most from centralisation of headend, at the country or regional level. The system can only be put in place with the collaboration of the local TV service providers that are prepared to innovate and work with us to provide top-tier channel services to hoteliers. If you are looking to enhance your TV distribution architecture without a hefty investment, Nonius Centralised Headend is your perfect solution and get in touch with us to check the viability of the project in your country.

Why Choose Nonius Centralized TV Headend?


Cost-Effective and Versatile

  • Maintain Existing Infrastructure: Our solution allows you to use your current TVs and coaxial setup, eliminating the need for costly upgrades.
  • Shared Costs: By transitioning to a cloud-based headend, the costs associated with hardware are significantly reduced. The headend cost is shared across multiple hotels, making it much more affordable than maintaining a local headend in each property.

Reduced Maintenance

  • Minimised Hardware Failures: With a cloud-based headend, the risk of physical component failures is minimised.
  • Stable and Reliable Service: Say goodbye to frequent reboots or server component replacements, ensuring a more stable and reliable service for your guests.

Simplified Configuration

  • Centralised Management: Managing TV channel line-ups has never been easier. Changes can be swiftly applied across all connected hotels.
  • Efficient Operations: Less time spent on technical configurations means more time focusing on providing an exceptional guest experience.

Pros of Our Distribution Architecture
Lower Hardware Costs: Significant savings by sharing the headend cost among many hotels.
Less Maintenance: Reduced risk of failures and downtime associated with physical servers.
Easier Configuration: Centralised management for quick and easy updates to TV channel line-ups.

Addressing the Challenges

High Bandwidth Requirements
The Challenge of High Bandwidth Needs: OTT solutions typically don’t scale well, i.e. do not cope with large properties (numerous TV sets). Our centralised setup does need a fibre connection to the hotel, but the throughput is only proportional to the number of channels that are contracted. It is independent of the size of the property.
Nonius OTT Cache: We provide caching equipment that helps save bandwidth consumption.

Strict Content Protection Requirements
The challenge of Secure Distribution: Streaming TV channels over the internet requires secure distribution to meet content owner standards.
Nonius DRM Integration: Our team is here to guide you through these requirements smoothly with the help of our broadcast and TV operator partners.

Connectivity Disruptions
The challenge of Internet service interruption: While an internet outage can disrupt services, we believe that in such cases, the property would face more significant issues than just TV services, but still is an issue that can be at least mitigated.
Nonius Redundancy Designs: Nonius provides redundancy designs to ensure uninterrupted service. High-availability options are available on a cost-effective price model.
