Telecom Italia Media has begun to optimise the delivery of live ports on OTT through an advanced multicast ABR (mABR) solution from Broadpeak.
“Thanks to Broadpeak’s mABR solution, which optimizes network performance for streaming services, we provide the best technology for assuring an excellent customer quality of experience,” said Crescenzo Micheli, head of technology and innovation at TIM.
Broadpeak’s mABR solution includes the BkE200 transcaster server, nanoCDN agent, SmartLib library, BkM100 video delivery mediator, BkA100 analytics, and BkA200 video delivery monitoring. The BkE200 transcaster server pulls source ABR streams and embeds them into multicast, reducing delivery costs while also solving scalability and potential quality issues.
“Streaming quality must be perfect in order to better enjoy OTT content, thanks to ultra-broadband connections,” said Jacques Le Mancq, president and CEO at Broadpeak. “TIM is leading the way for premium OTT delivery with our mABR solution, which will support live OTT delivery on smart TVs and other connected devices.”
The system was deployed by CVE as prime contractor, who also provided local support.
