BigBand’s SDV Reaches More Than 39 Million Households
May 18 2011 - 3:05AM
Business Wire
BigBand Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:BBND), today announced that the
Company’s Switched Digital Video (SDV) solution continues to lead
the industry with more than 39 million households passed. North
American providers such as Bright House Networks, Charter
Communications, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable, as well as
key International providers including Jiangsu Cable in China and LG
U+ in Korea, have deployed BigBand's SDV solution. By increasing
the bandwidth efficiency of their networks, operators are able to
deliver more HDTV programming and on-demand content to more
screens.
BigBand has also recently introduced new releases of its
Converged Video Exchange (CVEx™) video control plane and Switched
Video Analysis (SVA) software solutions. CVEx 2.5 is the latest
scalable, cost-effective video delivery control plane solution. It
is designed to allow operators to make full use of today’s network
infrastructure and also provide a graceful migration path forward
to tomorrow’s converged network. CVEx is a highly efficient way to
ramp up new services such as additional channels, more non-linear
service offerings, and multiscreen video solutions. SVA 5.0 is the
most recent release offering powerful new capabilities for
monitoring the utilization and performance of BigBand’s SDV systems
in near real time along with predictive tools for optimization and
planning, automatic and scheduled report generation, additional
detailed metrics, automatic highlighting of network trouble spots,
and deeper integration with CVEx to automatically detect topology
and other configuration changes.
“As service providers continue to expand services, CVEx remains
an efficient way to rapidly expand network capacity in addition to
enabling the critical insight into the health of the network,” said
Ludovic Milin, Director of Product Line Management at BigBand
Networks. “Downtime and denial of service are not an option. This
is why we’ve packed our SDV solution with so many ways to monitor
and optimize network operations. Operators can more effectively
plan their resources, delivering content wherever and whenever it’s
requested.”
CVEx 2.5 Control Plane Improves Spectrum Utilization
CVEx is an intelligent control plane that manages video services
across the network edge to both traditional RF set-top boxes as
well as next-generation IP devices. CVEx brings together RF
and IP video into a single resource pool. It dynamically controls
the allocation of all video services within a single
bandwidth/spectrum pool and provides a holistic view into usage and
resource utilization. This approach eliminates today’s dedicated
bandwidth silos for individual services such as Video on Demand
(VOD), SDV and Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) to dramatically improve
overall spectrum utilization to enable services growth. CVEx
supports industry standard protocols and interfaces for third-party
applications. Operators will further benefit from reduced
operational costs and the ability to leverage their existing
infrastructure while migrating to next-generation IP video as the
market and their subscribers demand.
SVA 5.0 Answers Operators’ Needs for Real-time Insight,
Report Automation and What-if Scenarios for Predictive
Analytics
Providing operators with better predictive analytics is a key
function of SVA. The industry’s most advanced tool for SDV and
broadcast video applications introduces innovative and useful
functions for monitoring, capacity planning and system
optimization, helping operators improve their networks’ operations,
visibility, performance and capital efficiency.
BigBand's SVA enables operators to quickly add new services
while maintaining the highest service quality. The combination of
CVEx and SVA offers operators’ fast and economical bandwidth
expansion to support new revenue-generating services with greater
visibility into the performance and utilization of their
networks.
Innovative SDV Solution Drives Delivery of Personalized,
High-Margin Services
BigBand's Emmy-award winning SDV solution enables dramatic
savings in bandwidth consumption, allowing operators to increase
revenues via expanded program offerings and the delivery of
personalized, high-margin services. Unlike legacy environments,
network capacity in a BigBand SDV environment seamlessly scales
with the number of active viewers and number of services offered.
This means that with the proper system sizing and configuration,
there is virtually no limit to the programming and personalization
that can be made available to subscribers.
