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

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
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

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.

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

We Deliver the Future of Television
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
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
