As media consumption habits change and viewers demand more content be delivered across multiple devices, media companies are facing pressure to quickly upgrade their networks to meet the demands of a TV-everywhere and increasingly Over-the-Top (OTT) society. However, delivering content in new ways to multiple devices and in different formats is incredibly complex, and upgrading legacy networking systems can be a costly undertaking.
Intelsat has expanded its media services offering with the introduction of IntelsatOne Prism, a next-generation, IP content distribution platform and managed service that is fully integrated with Intelsats powerful global satellite fleet and IntelsatOne terrestrial network. IntelsatOne Prisms fully automated, converged IP-based platform allows media customers to conduct multiple content transmissions via one platform, including linear video, file transfer, VoIP, Internet access and data exchange. It enables media customers to seamlessly implement digital media networking using legacy assets, improve bandwidth management with minimal investment and simplify overall content delivery and operational networks.
The media landscape is changing rapidly, with video and data services entering a period of unprecedented convergence, said Peter Ostapiuk, Head of Media Product Management, Intelsat.
In order to address the changes occurring in their business models, our media customers want services that support their needs today, but also are adaptable to future formats and standards that may be deployed in the future. IntelsatOne Prisms IP technology supports services that provide media customers with the perfect evolution that will extend media IP networking to the sky, delivering reliable, high-quality content contribution and distribution regardless of location or device. In addition, the versatility of the Prism enabled services will allow our customers to adapt their workflows, simplify their operations and support both current and future media applications, optimising their overall network costs.
IntelsatOne Prism services are based on the Newtec Dialog multiservice broadcast solution, which combines the core Dialog VSAT platform and workflow automation functionality with Intelsats global satellite and terrestrial infrastructure as well as 24/7 monitoring to provide a seamless end-to-end solution. Initially available in North America via Intelsats Ku- and C-band satellites, the Prism hub is a shared infrastructure owned and operated by Intelsat and located at its Atlanta, Georgia teleport. The customer terminalsfixed or mobilecomplement the hub and allow legacy antennas and satellite news gathering (SNG) vehicles to be upgraded easily by integrating a Newtec modem, minimising the upfront investment.
