with an operator
Broadpeak property – All rights reserved

2. Objective of the operator
Deliver multi-screen video Internet
services
►Efficiently
►Quickly
►Cost-effectively
Support live events
which generate
audience peaks
We Deliver the Future of Television

3. Needs
► Efficiency of bandwidth usage
 Transfer of media content to the home
network in RF
► Scalability
 Increase of usage according to peaks
► Users’ Quality of Experience
 Outstanding experience for users accessing
the content via multiple devices
• HLS format for STB, tablets and
smartphones, evolution into other
formats
We Deliver the Future of Television

4. Past experiences
►Flexibility
 handle peak bandwidth consumption of live events

6. Why Broadpeak ?
►Broadpeak nanoCDN out-of-box solution allows the
use of the CDN to deliver multicast streams
►No need to use more expensive and consuming
unicast streams
We Deliver the Future of Television

7. nanoCDN principle
►The nanoCDN relies on the home gateways deployed
in the home network
→ To receive and transform multicast streams into unicast
in order to deliver videos to different devices across the
residential environment with no impact on the devices

9. nanoCDN principle
• This multicast-to-unicast paradigm allows operators to keep
network bandwidth for a fast internet connection while
continuing to deliver high-quality unicast streams to drive
multiple devices within the residence.

10. How constraints are handled
Constraints
- Reuse already deployed home gateways or
STB
- Reuse the existing multicast capabilities of
managed IPTV & cable networks
- Master your costs: no « peak » effect
Limited cost for
competitive
services
Multiscreen with
existing devices
Secured
delivery
- Fully compliant with any DRM system
- No specific implementation required at
device level
- Fully compliant with streaming standards:
HLS, SS, MPEG-DASH, hence with standard
encoders
- Fully compliant with standard players

11. How constraints are handled
User experience
- No extra buffering at start up
Short start-up
time
Service
continuity
Time-shifting
support
- Full benefits of adaptive
streaming
-
Leverage home gateway or STB
local storage or switch back to
unicast for time-shifting
- No extra delay introduced in
the system
Low latency
Quality of
service
- Contention points reduction
hence more frequent
presence on top layers
We Deliver the Future of Television

12. Benefits for the operator
► The operator can ensure thousand streams without
additional investments on frequencies
► The solution is fully compliant with:
• Streaming standards
–
It maintains the benefits of adaptive streaming technology for
a superior QoE
• Standard players and devices
–
No need for additional proprietary equipment or software
► Broadpeak solution handles the DRM content providers
demand for signal security
