BigBand Introduces IP Video Delivery Solution with Clearleap at The Cable Show 2011

Business Wire
BigBand Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:BBND) today introduced an
enhanced IP video delivery solution that now supports on-demand
programming and back-office connectivity, in addition to linear TV.
This solution will be demonstrated in BigBand’s booth #449 at The
Cable Show 2011. Featuring BigBand's vIP PASS™ integrated with
Clearleap's Stream On Demand system, the new solution allows
operators to stream entire libraries of managed linear and
on-demand video content to IP-connected televisions or devices.
This enables operators to bundle and monetize more content to more
devices, with more efficient use of bandwidth.
The joint solution takes the bandwidth load off the cable modem
termination system (CMTS), making it the most efficient path for
delivering video-on-demand (VOD) programming or linear TV to
IP-connected devices, while also handling back-office operations
such as validation, billing, transactions and management of the
content catalog. In the process, operators can realize added
revenue or reduce churn by offering multi-screen services to the
growing array of unmanaged consumer devices such as gaming
consoles, iPads, Blue-Ray, mobile devices, PCs and more. The
solution addresses operators’ immediate need to support consumers'
growing demand for multi-screen video delivery and allows operators
to better compete with over-the-top (OTT) services.
“With Clearleap, we have expanded our IP video delivery solution
to support on demand services, truly giving the operator the
ability to deliver more content anywhere at anytime,” said Jay
Chambers, Vice President and Chief Architect at BigBand Networks.
“We believe that the combined Stream On Demand and vIP PASS
solution delivers the operational ease and seamless integration
that our customers are seeking. This can accelerate the
time-to-market with new services and open up a large and growing
market opportunity.”
“With BigBand, we are helping TV operators expand high-speed
data networks to include limitless volumes of content; without the
costs, hassles and time-delays of restructuring,” said John
Carlucci, Chief Technical Officer at Clearleap. “Operators that
already utilize Stream On Demand can easily integrate vIP PASS, and
vice versa.”
BigBand’s vIP PASS supports the Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA) approach to help operators "extend" managed video services
to subscriber-owned devices in the home network. As it is built
upon the existing cable architecture, operators can leverage their
investment in BigBand’s Switched Digital Video (SDV) and Universal
Edge QAMs, providing a cost-effective video service using a
standard DOCSIS® 3.0 cable modem or gateway.
Clearleap’s Stream On Demand powers content delivery over IP to
connected set-tops, devices, and TVs and enables a user experience
competitive with such third-party streaming services as Netflix,
Hulu, and AppleTV. Operators can use it to stream unlimited
hours and titles over existing broadband networks, creating a
compelling content offering delivered directly to the TV.
The new IP video delivery solution is available now.
