KAWASAKI, Japan—Media Links will showcase its recent integration of its Xscend platform with Skyline Communications’ DataMiner xOps platform at Broadcast Asia 2026, May 20-22, at the Singapore EXPO convention and exhibition center.
The integration allows Media Links’ Xscend systems to be monitored and managed within DataMiner environments, giving operators end-to-end visibility and management of their transport infrastructure alongside other network elements.
As media and telecom networks continue to evolve, operators are increasingly adopting layered management architectures that combine vendor-specific element managers with high-level orchestration platforms to manage complex and distributed workflows.
By enabling interoperability with DataMiner, Media Links expands the accessibility of Xscend across a large global installed base. This simplifies deployment and supports more efficient monitoring, control and coordination across diverse network infrastructures.
The Media Links Xscend platform is a high-performance IP media transport solution designed to carry video, audio, and data across wide area networks with high reliability and low latency. Built for live production, remote workflows and large-scale contribution environments, Xscend combines high-capacity transport with advanced features, such as hitless protection switching. Its flexible architecture alongside ProMD EMS, Media Links’ element management system, allows it to integrate seamlessly into modern IP-based infrastructures, supporting both centralized and distributed operational models.
DataMiner is the xOps platform built for the Intelligence Era, bridging complex infrastructure and automated intelligence across mission-critical ecosystems, including telecom networks, satellite operations, broadcast platforms, utility grids and smart infrastructures. It unifies diverse data sources and controls, creating a real-time digital twin for AI-powered monitoring, analytics, automation and orchestration.
The platform comes with out-of-the-box solutions that are highly customizable and supported by a vibrant global DevOps community.

“Media Links has long been known for delivering a complete and robust transport solution, including control and management,” said John Dale, chief marketing officer at Media Links. “At the same time, we recognize that many of our customers operate in multi-vendor environments and rely on platforms like DataMiner for centralized visibility and orchestration. This integration makes it easier to bring Xscend into those existing workflows and align with how networks are managed today.”
