Sun and TV Files to provide broad band distributed solutions to European marketLas Vegas 23 April 2001 Sun and TV Files have signed a co-operation agreement to provide content providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and corporations in the European market with solutions for the distribution of broadcast quality video and multimedia content.
This agreement allows TV Files and Sun to offer a
technologically advanced solution for bridging the
divide inherent in the traditional point-to-point
transmission model of the Internet. It
additionally satisfies the growing need to
transmit broadcast quality video and multimedia
content online via public networks and corporate
Local Area Networks (LANs), by leveraging the
enormous potential offered by broadband
connections. This innovative solution is based on
TV Files' satellite IP multicast platform and on
Sun's leading technological infrastructure.
TV Files provides service applications - such as
video portals (Business-to-Consumer (B2C)),
broadband networks, interactive business
television, points of information for retail
chains and public institutions, interactive news,
webcasting services, interactive distance
learning, and content distribution for advertising
- to vertical markets.
TV Files integrates a proprietary software
platform based on Internet protocols with its own
broadband network. The company supplies all
systems and services for the editing, encoding,
storage, data management, and multi-point delivery
of multimedia content and broadcast quality video.
TV Files offers its technology to
integrate with Sun's technological platform. TV Files'
solution on Sun's platform allows the satellite IP
multicast transmission of multimedia content and
broadcast quality video to 'edge servers'
installed at POPs of the Internet Service
Providers or directly at corporate LANs. The
second portion of the path remains point-to-point,
thus allowing interaction.
