Integrated solution enables operators to easily and profitably deliver
linear and on demand content to multiple screens
London (IPTV World Forum) – March 22, 2011 (Booth #167) – Edgeware, a leader
in
distributed video delivery solutions, and BNI Video, a leading developer of advanced
video
management software solutions, today announced a joint collaboration to deliver
integrated solutions to operators that will allow them to quickly take advantage of new
revenue opportunities by extending service offerings to Internet-connected devices.
The collaboration will bring together BNI Video’s software products, the Evolution™
Video
Control Plane and Evolution CDN Service Manager, with Edgeware’s distributed
video
delivery network architecture to provide a single, integrated solution that gives
providers all
the tools they need to evolve from traditional set-top box delivery to
video-enabled and IP-connected
devices.
BNI’s video control plane provides the foundation
that allows operators to extend their
services to incorporate different forms of content
from multiple sources. The company’s
flexible, intelligent software gives VSPs the
functionality and control they need to deploy
video and other next-generation services
to any end point more easily, quickly and reliably
than ever before. This results in reduced
operational costs and complexity, expanded
monetization opportunities, and more compelling
end user viewing experiences.
With the integration of Edgeware’s distributed video delivery
network architecture the
solution will provide a complete and unified approach to video delivery
by bringing together
the key elements in a single distributed video delivery network framework,
including purpose-
built hardware, demand-based asset propagation and advanced session
management tools,
time-shift services and excellent Quality of Experience.
“BNI Video has
already marked a great success helping operators transition to IP networks
and
compete in the
rapidly changing marketplace,” said Joachim Roos, Edgeware’s chief
executive
officer. “The
combined solution takes it up a notch, allowing our mutual existing
and prospective
customers
meet the growing subscriber demand for accessing content on
any device.”
“Edgeware’s technology has been adopted by many large operators around the world,”
said
Conrad Clemson, CEO of BNI
Video. “Edgeware’s highly scalable solution
complements our
products and together, we will enable operators to achieve a level of
control, management and
scalability they need to successfully deliver,
manage and
monetize video services.“
