SKYflow: Experience the First Satellite OTT Ecosystem at IBC 2022

During this year's?IBC in Amsterdam, September 9-12, the?three partners?from the SKYflow collaboration will be introducing SKYflow: The revolutionary?multicast ABR ecosystem?that features technology from?EKT,?EasyBroadcast?and?ST Engineering iDirect.

The coming together of the companies to create this innovative ecosystem 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 satellite-based 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 was previously demonstrated during a?DVB Project?event where the collaborating companies successfully showcased the origination, transport, reception and consumption of live OTT video over satellite in a completely seamless way, enhancing the overall viewing experience. The delivery of?Native IP over satellite?creates a range of possibilities for?mobile?and?multi-room viewing,?education video distribution?and network?cost savings.

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.
