Broadpeak has joined the Nokia Networks’ AppFactory to develop and test one of its live TV solutions for LTE networks.
According to Dirk Lindemeier, head of Liquid Applications at Nokia Networks, “distributing live TV over mobile networks has been a challenge to date, with regards to scalability, quality of experience, start-up time, and latency.
“We are very excited to welcome Broadpeak as a member of our AppFactory, and we support their efforts for improving live TV delivery quality by leveraging our base stations.”
Broadpeak has recently been enhancing its CDN and streaming technologies for the mobile environment. It intends to install its nanoCDN technology inside the Nokia Networks’ RACS to improve content delivery by utilising the base station as an edge streaming server.
Jacques Le Mancq, CEO, Broadpeak, added: “Broadpeak has already extended content delivery into the home with our nanoCDN technology. Working with Nokia Networks is the next logical step toward boosting delivery of live TV services.
“Expanding our technologies into mobile networks will help to perfect the way video is delivered to consumers who are on the go. We are very proud to work with Nokia Networks on this groundbreaking solution, which will greatly impact the future of live TV delivery.”
