This agreement provides an excellent example of increasing market trends for high-quality (Hi-Def) on demand video content. As market demand for this type of service continues to rise, the internet broadband networks via which the videos are delivered, will become even more congested than they already are - as the internet was not built to handle the large scale distribution of bandwidth heavy files.
Intercast Networks' M2S solution is capable of the scalable delivery of high-quality (Hi-Def) video files directly to users' STBs. As the video content is intelligently distributed via Multicast delivery technology, network congestion issues are efficiently solved. Moreover, as videos are consumed from users' storage, there are no download time issues and quality of experience is guaranteed.
