ESN Selects PlayBox Technology

Echo Sports Network (ESN) has selected PlayBox Technology's AirBox Neo solution to deliver a new channel dedicated to promoting amateur sports.

Based in Australia, ESN offers sports teams and clubs the opportunity to promote themselves via media streaming solutions. ESN selected AirBox Neo from Redwood's Technology Solutions.

Leveraging internet-based technology and PlayBox's advanced IP playout server, ESN is providing a platform for amateur sports to reach out to its fans, through regular season games, finals series, or elite competition such as national championships.

"We needed a software solution we could use on our existing servers and something that was cost-effective to kick-off," explained Lyle Cameron, ESN. "We have ambitious growth plans and PlayBox has CloudAir, the IP-based remote management system that we plan to introduce in the future."

Brad Redwood, Redwood's Technology, added: "The industry is demanding faster channel startup, higher quality standards and scalable metadata-based content management. PlayBox Technology has years of experience which enable our customers to achieve this within a sensible investment budget."
