Harnessing Available IP Networks

Even imperfect networks such as the public Internet or hotel Internet connections can be successfully utilized for reliable, high quality Streambox video transport. In fact, Onstream Media routinely uses these types of network connections to deliver live webcasts to itsFortune 1000 customers.

Streambox’s advanced networking capabilities, including Forward Error Correction (FEC), are critical to ironing out network imperfections. As an example, user-selectable presets enable our customers to easily adjust settings such as FEC, buffering size, and target bit rate to match the characteristics of the particular network being used.

Many news organizations use a combination of networks, including BGAN, to transmit higher quality live and file-based video and audio over low bandwidth connections. Mobile networks such as EV-DO, WiMAX, 3G, and Wireless LAN can also be successfully utilized.
