Challenges

Meeting the needs of head-end distribution today, and in the future

Cable, IPTV, terrestrial and satellite providers are all in a battle for viewers. With more choice than ever before, viewers simply won’t tolerate service outages or poor performance. Providers are not just in competition with each other, but with on-demand services, “cord-cutting”, and other online experiences.
 
They need technology that will make the best use of existing infrastructure, providing maximum uptime at the best price point. Cable, IPTV, satellite and terrestrial providers are meeting the needs of their customers and reacting to industry changes by adopting technologies and new innovations that make the most of their infrastructure
