PDX with edge compute storage and content caching for the largest broadcast operations
The Peplink PDX EC adds onboard edge compute and storage capability to the PDX broadcast contribution platform. Built for the largest broadcast operations where the contribution router also runs Docker containers for local stream processing, content caching for time-shifted contribution, and edge analytics. The right tier for broadcast NOCs running national-tier contribution operations and large-scale OB fleet operations centres. SKU PDX-EC-LTEA-K-T.
What edge compute adds
- Onboard storage for content caching. Time-shifted contribution where the OB vehicle records material locally and pushes during available bandwidth windows.
- Docker container runtime. Local stream processing, codec transcoding, edge analytics, custom production tools running on the contribution platform itself.
- MediaFast caching for distributed broadcast content delivery.
- SpeedFusion bonding with full PDX feature set
Where it fits
National broadcaster premium contribution. Where the contribution platform doubles as edge compute for production workflows.
Large-scale broadcast operations centres. Multiple vehicle contribution feeds aggregated and processed at the NOC, with PDX EC handling local processing before egress.
Government and state broadcast operations. Where contribution requirements include local content processing for security or sovereignty reasons.
vs PDX (no EC)
The standard PDX handles the contribution path; PDX EC adds the edge compute layer. For most broadcast deployments, the standard PDX is sufficient. For deployments where local processing is required, PDX EC is the right choice.
Recommended add-ons
- EssentialCare+ extension matched to PDX EC tier
- Antenna MAX Duo mast-mounted
- EPX-M8 NOC headend with FlexModule selection (EPX-M8)
