Broadpeak Runs CDN Demos, IBC2014

At IBC2014, Broadpeak is to demonstrate its CDN and streaming server equipment. The company will showcase a range of solutions that can be deployed in the network, in the home, or on the go.

In the Network
A key demonstration in the network area of Broadpeak's booth will be the company's CDN in a box solution, featuring:
• multiscreen technologies to support the delivery of live and VOD content to any screen in any format, including HEVC 4K
• cloud PVR TV capabilities, enabling operators to offer start-over, time-shifting, and catch-up TV, as well as impulsive recording, while only storing content once
• unified streaming servers capable of streaming both RTSP and ABR formats from a single appliance, lowering OPEX
• the umbrellaCDN™ CDN selection tool, available both as a service and as a product, allowing content providers and operators to always choose the most adapted CDN to deliver their video content.

In the Home
Leveraging equipment present in the home such as broadband gateways and set-top boxes (STBs), Broadpeak's award-winning nanoCDN™ technology enables operators to extend their CDN into the home network. nanoCDN now supports four applications, including:
• multicast ABR live multiscreen delivery: nanoCDN makes live OTT video delivery to any device truly scalable by turning millions of broadband gateways or STBs into active components of an operator's content delivery infrastructure.
• video transparent caching: this application of nanoCDN allows operators to handle the growing volume of unmanaged video content on their backbones. Operators can reduce peering costs for ISPs while optimising their network resources and improving the QoE for end users.
• VOD pre-caching: leveraging customer premises equipment (CPE) and multicast technology, the VOD pre-caching application of nanoCDN optimises streaming capacity and end users' QoE for video-on-demand services. Broadpeak's solution is installed in the equipment, enabling it to act like a cache server located near end users, since the CPE is inside the home network. Multicast is used to send video content to the home gateway during off-peak hours, improving QoE for all customers, even those not eligible for Ultra HD.
• multiscreen over satellite: Together with Eutelsat's 'smart LNB', nanoCDN enables cost-effective multiscreen video delivery over satellite.

On the Go
At IBC2014, Broadpeak will demonstrate how the CDN can be extended to the base station by deploying nanoCDN technology onto a mobile edge computing platform, similar to the Nokia Radio Applications Cloud Server (RACS). This is one example of how Broadpeak's strategic approach to a "nanoCDN on the go" can leverage base stations in a mobile network.
