Broadpeaks C-CAS Wins TV Connect Award for Best Network Technology for IPTV and OTT 28 Mar 2013

Broadpeak, a leading provider of content delivery network (CDN) technologies and video-on-demand (VOD) servers for cable, IPTV, OTT, and hybrid-TV operators worldwide, today announced that the companys new C-CAS technology was awarded Best Network Technology for IPTV and OTT at the 2013 TV Connect Awards presented by Informa Telecoms & Media at TV Connect 2013 in London. Broadpeaks C-CAS uniquely enables pay-TV operators to support HTTP adaptive streaming protocols while simultaneously remaining compliant with conditional access systems on subscribers existing set-top boxes (STBs).

C-CAS addresses the massive challenges pay-TV operators face in cost-effectively delivering encrypted content via HTTP adaptive streaming protocols to their existing subscribers STBs, which traditionally rely on a Conditional Access System for content protection, said Jacques Le Mancq, CEO and president of Broadpeak. Using C-CAS, operators can unify the video user experience across next-generation and existing STBs in order to deliver exceptional video quality to subscribers at a minimal investment. Winning this prestigious industry award gives credibility to the major impact we believe C-CAS will have on the pay-TV industry.

The TV Connect Awards recognize innovative technology solutions in the connected entertainment industry. Entries are judged by a panel of industry professionals comprising cable and telecom operators as well as independent experts. During the awards ceremony at TV Connect 2013, held March 20 in London, Broadpeak received a special plaque commemorating its technology achievement.

Utilizing C-CAS, operators can cost-effectively deliver high-quality multimedia services including HD video over any broadband network. By dramatically lowering the cost of launching HTTP adaptive streaming video services, C-CAS enables pay-TV operators to maximize their revenue. Prior to Broadpeaks C-CAS technology, an operator wanting to deliver protected content in HTTP adaptive streaming would be required to upgrade the firmware of each and every legacy STB with a digital rights management system for content protection a very risky and time-consuming undertaking given the large variety of STBs deployed and their limited resources. C-CAS allows operators to capitalize on their investment in existing STBs by supporting HTTP adaptive streaming in CAS-based STBs.
