Putting IP into IPTV
Empowered by the Internet and enthralled with their IP-enabled devices, consumers now expect to view video anytime, anywhere on any device. BigBand Networks offers a robust end-to-end video IP delivery solution to help you capitalize on this growing demand.
At the core lies BigBand's vIP PASS. vIP PASS "wraps" video in DOCSIS®, the industry's signaling standard, so you can deliver video streams to IP-enabled cable modems without transiting a CMTS. Not only is this more economical, but it also ensures no disruption in your current broadband services, minimizing service calls and churn. The result: a far smarter IPTV solution.
BigBand vIP PASS Highlights
- Fully compatible with DOCSIS 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 CMTS platforms
- Enables video delivery to "three screens" consumers want most—TVs, PCs and mobile devices—using existing infrastructure, via switched, managed or "over the top" architectures
- Offers tools to give visibility into the viewing statistics and performance of video content
- Leverages existing voice, data and video elements thus reducing network complexity
- Employs BigBand's proven digital video networking platforms used in 33 million households passed
- Provides a evolutionary path to unicast delivery
