Space saver: Three into one will go with Miteq
nanoCDN leverages home equipment
Broadpeak
Same performance, two thirds less space
Miteq By Ian McMurray
Time and budget are always at a premium. So, increasingly, is space. Recognising the trend, Miteq has announced a solution that reduces rack space by two thirds — meaning that three times as many cards can be deployed in a 1RU height cage. Designed to designed to compensate for long cable run loss and configurable to provide system redundancy in a 1RU package, the new offering, says the company, provides the same
quality, functionality, performance capability and options as the full size equivalents.
A 1RU cage can now host
three block upconverters or block downconverters (L-, S-, C- , X-, Ku-, or Ka-Bands); redundant switchover units and test translators for all bands; low noise gain adjustable amplifiers and amplitude/slope equalisers (also all bands); fibre optic transmitters and receivers (complete links with redundant switchover unit); and synthesisers for L- and Ka- Bands for signal path testing. 1.A18

Leveraging equipment present in the home such as broadband gateways and set-top boxes, Broadpeak says that its nanoCDN technology enables operators to extend their CDN into the home network. nanoCDN now supports
four applications, including multicast ABR live multiscreen delivery, making live OTT video delivery to any device truly scalable, the company says, by turning millions of broadband gateways or STBs into active components of an operator's content delivery infrastructure. Leveraging home networks, Broadpeak believes that operators can
cost-effectively manage the consumption peaks of live multiscreen services for millions of simultaneous viewers using only a few megabits per second from their network by
implementing multicast support for most popular ABR formats.
The second application is video transparent caching, an application of nanoCDN that Broadpeak says allows operators to efficiently handle the growing volume of unmanaged video content on their backbones. Through nanoCDN, the company claims that operators can reduce peering costs for ISPs while optimising their network resources and improving the QoE for end users. The application paves the way for new business models, according to Broadpeak,
enabling operators to monetise the caching capability with content owners, without the latter needing to modify their set- up.
VoD pre-caching is the
third application. Leveraging customer premises equipment and multicast technology, the VoD pre- caching application of nanoCDN optimises streaming capacity and end users' QoE for video-on- demand services. Broadpeak's solution is installed in the equipment, enabling it to act like a cache server located near end users, since the CPE is inside the home network. Multicast is used to send video content to the home gateway during off-peak hours, improving QoE for all customers, even those not eligible for Ultra HD, the company says. The fourth application is multiscreen over satellite. With Eutelsat's 'smart LNB', nanoCDN is said to enable cost-effective multiscreen video delivery over satellite. 1.D59
