OVERVIEW

Service requirements for contribution over managed IP networks

Universal IP interfaces and services

Adapt clients’ media flows to universal IP interfaces and services.

Domain Separation

Partition, protect, prioritize and segregate clients and media flows within the service provider network.

Isolate

Isolate the clients’ IP network from the service provider network.

Proactively monitor

Proactively monitor the media flows for integrity and compliance.

Efficient network transport

Encode the media flows for efficient network transport.

CHALLENGES

What our technology solves

Interoperability – Ensure interoperability between clients’ handoff interface and the carrier network so that the contribution feed can be accepted.

Security – Keep the IP networks isolated from what can cause harm but fully available for media transport leveraging IP’s flexibility.

Ensure quality – Wire speed throughput, uncongested, Low latency, non-blocking media flow transport between endpoints.

Media-specific monitoring – Monitor media quality beyond traditional IP performance characteristics.

Cost Effective Encoding – Prepare the contribution feeds cost-effectively using interoperable and compatible codecs. Have the correct codec available all the time that is fit for purpose and meets the client’s requirements and specifications.
