TV over any device enabler, Quickplay has recently launched its mobile content delivery network (CDN), an embedded middleware platform that manages the end to end delivery of content over LTE-Broadcast (LTE-B).
With the full integration and launch of mobile CDN, Quickplay’s Next Generation Video Platform is designed for operators and content programmers to begin commercializing innovative services in LTE-B, including push video-on-demand (VOD), live televised events, the delivery of broadcast media streams and digital signage. The embedded middleware platform integrates with existing CDNs and leverages Quickplay’s software defined headend to ingest, package and publish content, making it possible for on demand content to be distributed over any LTE network through the caching of pre-positioned content on LTE enabled devices.
To date, several trials have already been successfully executed with providers and partners including Qualcomm and Vodafone Spain, with upcoming trials planned for this Spring in North America, Japan and Romania. Commercial use cases including push VOD, live events (televised), over the top (OTT) video, and in-venue services are deploying in the near term, said Quickplay.
Wayne Purboo, CEO and co-founder of Quickplay
Momentum in the LTE-B space has been building over the past year with trials proving-out technology, an expanding array of consumer and IoT devices, interoperability and business models. We are very bullish on the future of LTE-B and are poised to help providers around the world monetize mobile video and large file distribution.
