Broadpeak To Present At CDN World Summit

A provider of content delivery networks (CDN) and video-on-demand (VoD) servers for cable, IPTV, and hybrid TV operators worldwide, have announced that the company's president will be a featured speaker at the CDN World Summit.
Broadpeak Chief Executive Officer Jacques Le Mancq, with his extensive experience in the field of digital television and expertise in IP video delivery, will present a session titled "A Telecom CDN deployment in Latin America: facts and lessons learned" on Oct. 27 at 10.45 am. Also joining him at the session will be Martin Ortiz, CDN Product Manager of Telecom Argentina.
The presentation for the Summit audience will examine the business case and rationale behind the establishment of an operator CDN, discuss the necessary solution architecture, and explore the results and benefits of the approach. With consumer demand for high-quality video over the Internet rising rapidly, network operators are increasingly faced with the challenge of dealing with an unprecedented quantity of video on their network. By creating its own CDN, an operator is able to monetize its network and provide a competitive offer to content providers for delivering video content, while guaranteeing quality of service.
The session's discussion will draw directly from a real-life CDN deployment to analyse the challenges faced during the project and the solutions derived to mitigate them. Le Mancq and Ortiz will shed light upon the recently completed, successful deployment in Latin America where Telecom Argentina launched its own CDN. Through the deployment, the telecommunications group was able to eliminate costly, ongoing CDN provider fees, as well as monetize its network by leasing bandwidth to content providers without requiring intervention from a third-party CDN, while offering resellers the opportunity to lease and manage the space.
