  • Error correction based on an error feedback mechanism implemented on STB and video servers
  • Network agnostic
  • No special features (like IGMP/IGMP snooping/IGMP proxy) are required in access/aggregation network of service provider/operator
  • Ready for OTT Deployment
  • Both in Fix and Mobile (3G/4G) networks the STB is working identical (same quality), either provisioned IPTV VPN or from Internet (other service provider/operator environment) due to error correction mechanism

Business Perspective
Drivers

  • TCO Predictability
    • Today most of IPTV platforms fail to deliver a reliable service within projected budget
  • User Experience
    • Analog cable still has a better user experience than most IPTV/DVB-C platforms (zapping time, easier connectivity, single remote)
  • Reliability
    • Most IPTV platforms are vulnerable to packet loss, in most of the cases produced in the home user network (after CPE)
  • Advanced Service Enabled Architecure
    • Smart features like VoD, Timeshifting, nPVR, require unicast, so CrossPoint embedded unicast CDN in the IPTV Platform
