The company, which recently topped the European video-on-demand server software ranking in the latest Multimedia Research Group Inc. (MRG Inc) IPTV Market Leaders Report, will highlight its new OperatorCDN™ solution at the show. The OperatorCDN’s wholesale feature offers operators a way to control the quality of content and increase revenue by managing their own content delivery network (CDN) rather than working with a third-party CDN service provider. In addition, Broadpeak will showcase its +screensCDN™ (pronounced “morescreensCDN”) solution, a streaming system that delivers high-quality content to multiple screens. The company will also present a cross-terminal, cross-OS demonstration of “follow me” TV to showcase how efficiently on-demand, live and webTV content can be delivered to multiple devices, while also enabling viewers to switch from one device to another and continue watching the same content.
The OperatorCDN™ is a solution that enables network service providers (NSPs) to manage a CDN on their own networks. The OperatorCDN is based on the Broadpeak BkM100 Mediator CDN management platform, which provides an advanced statistics display tool that references all the sessions per content, per region, and per format. Operating a wholesale content delivery network through the OperatorCDN allows an NSP to offer a CDN service to local content owners, who can negotiate the price directly with NSPs. Broadpeak’s solution generates new revenue streams for NSPs carrying a growing share of local content. The solution also increases QoE (Quality of Experience) and, as a result, revenue, as well as offering a new geo-content replacement option that replaces content according to the current geographical location of the subscriber.
Also being unveiled will be the new +screensCDN™, a series of streaming solutions that manage bandwidth and storage usage, increase quality of experience, and eliminate churn. On display will be the Broadpeak BkM100 CDN Mediator, which models network topology and provisions video POP according to content popularity in order to optimize backbone bandwidth usage. Visitors can also see a demonstration of the Broadpeak BkS100 TS streaming servers and BkS300 multiformat servers. The servers propose high throughput with flexible storage configurations (hard drive, flash, RAM) adapted to the actual usage model. Broadpeak will also show its BkS200 and BkS300 multiformat streaming servers, which provide optimized content delivery to PCs, smartphones and tablets. The demonstration will involve content delivery to multiple screens: a personal computer with Microsoft® Silverlight® streaming, an iPad® with HTTP live streaming, an iPhone® with iOS, a set-top box with TS streaming, and an Android™-based Galaxy phone with RTSP and HTML5 streaming. The viewer can start watching content on any of these devices, stop, and start the same content from the same point on a different device by pressing just a single button. By sharing streaming information through a CDN component called “cross-terminal module,” the Broadpeak approach enables seamless delivery of content on all devices irrespective of the devices’ operating systems. Broadpeak will also be represented on its distributor, Sencore‘s, booth — number SU3612.
