WISI Enables Greenlight to Modernize Video Delivery with ABR Receiver

VANCOUVER, BC, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WISI today announced the successful deployment of its ABR Receiver solution at Greenlight Community Broadband, enabling a more efficient and resilient approach to video delivery across business accounts.

As part of its network modernization, Greenlight is transitioning away from legacy satellite and analog infrastructure while continuing to support hospitality environments. With these services nearing end-of-life, maintaining separate residential and commercial video workflows created significant operational complexity.

By adopting WISI’s ABR Receiver with TiVo Managed IPTV, Greenlight now ingests TiVo-delivered ABR streams and converts them into multicast for commercial distribution. This eliminates duplicate headend processing and enables a single video workflow across residential and business services.

The solution is already in production, delivering multicast feeds to a local stadium, where content is distributed across multiple screens.

“WISI has been a great partner—innovative, responsive, and willing to work with us through unique integration challenges,” said Linwood Tyndall, Headend & IT Engineering Manager at Greenlight.

Beyond efficiency gains, the deployment provides built-in disaster recovery. By leveraging TiVo feeds fed through WISI’s ABR Receiver, Greenlight can quickly restore video services in the event of a disruption to its primary signal path—an option not previously available.

Additionally, WISI’s integrated diagnostics and responsive support team have improved day-to-day operations. Enhanced visibility and intuitive tools enable faster issue identification and resolution.

“The platform gives us much better visibility into what’s happening,” continues Linwood. “Combined with WISI’s responsive support, it’s significantly reduced the time it takes us to pinpoint and resolve issues.”

Looking ahead, Greenlight plans to expand the use of the ABR Receiver to serve additional commercial environments where traditional set-top box deployments are not practical.

“Operators are looking for ways to simplify video delivery while maintaining service across a variety of customers,” said Sharen Sandhu, VP Product at WISI America. “This deployment demonstrates how ABR-based workflows can extend beyond the home into commercial applications without increasing operational complexity.”
