In order to meet demand for more high-quality HD and UHD video on more devices, TV operators, broadcasters and telcos need to adapt. There are also new digital formats to consider — for example, making the transition from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4/H.264/AVC, and eventually to HEVC.
And, when we think about this in tandem with the transition to OTT and the need for these players to become content aggregators, there are a plethora of operational complexities to contend with — all while managing budget constraints, and overhauling business models.
Being able to deliver more content, in higher quality, with the low levels of latency that viewers have become accustomed to, demands a solution that provides more bandwidth to carry this content — but does so in a way that does not incur additional OPEX costs.
