Broadcast Providers
Creating a TV Gateway to Deliver More via the Home Network
Traditional broadcast providers supply premium content primarily via cable and satellite to televisions equipped with a DVB-based set-top box and PVRs. However, most of today’s in-demand content sources are available only via IP networks.
To meet growing subscriber demands, maintain satisfaction, and lower churn - broadcast providers are expected to supplement their existing offering, delivering content and streaming TV via IP from any source to any platform, anywhere in the subscriber site.
To cost-effectively accomplish this, digital broadcast providers need branded, easily-implemented, multi-room and cross-platform solutions that seamlessly integrate with the home network. They need portable, durable, and reliable solutions that enable streaming broadcast TV and access to satellite, cable and DTT broadcasts, recorded media, and VOD across the household – on TVs, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and other IP-enabled devices.
