SKYflow Ecosystem
Connect » Provide Connectivity » Connectivity & Bandwidth » Satellite connectivity »
This is a revolutionary multicast ABR ecosystem that features technology from EKT, EasyBroadcast, Quadrille and ST Engineering iDirect. Through SKYflow, our consortium has defined satellite’s role in OTT delivery and will enable service providers and telcos to deliver content to any device in any location and will satisfy the many use cases that require satellite delivery of OTT services. Congested networks and geographical reach of terrestrial systems have often been a stumbling block for OTT providers and telcos. As they try to attract new subscribers in more remote regions of the world, they must be able to extend their reach beyond the realms of terrestrial networks. The SKYflow ecosystem enables them to solve both challenges due to its capability to reach anywhere in the world, to transport high bitrates to the edge, its multicasting performance and smart pre-positioning of content at the edge. The introduction of the ecosystem extends far beyond media and entertainment but also enables a plethora of other use cases. These include helping educational institutions to reach their students; healthcare providers to offer telemedicine services; mobility markets to deliver video on the move and distribution of video to the consumer and households that may not have a computer but do have a television. SKYflow can be utilized from transmit-only (via a Set Top Box) all the way to very performant high bandwidth and bi-directionally connected remote Points of Presence using a VSAT platform, assuring efficient satellite distribution to a range of terminals and a game changer for OTT delivery.
