Anevia teams with Ina for new IPTV services

Anevia Teams Up With Ina For New IPTV Services by Rohan Parker
Anevia have announced that they are throwing in with Ina to release their new range of IPTV services.

Anevia is known for providing video over IP via FLAMINGO DVB to both IP gateways and TOUCAN VOD/nPVR servers, along with TV archiving.

Ina have stated that the reason for the team up with Anevia was their impeccable reputation for reliability and their commitment to advancing technology for better quality along with options for mass archiving for professionals along with the public at large.

Anevia’s use of FLAMINGO made them attractive for a collaboration with Ina because it both simplified certain processes, along with reducing costs for them.
The use of FLAMINGO allows for the replacement of IRDs and encoders.
Just one of Anevia’s FLAMINGOs can send out signals for up to 60 TV channels concurrently, and the devices are also known to be extremely reliable.
Ina have stated that the migration to full-IP should be smoother with the new partnership.

Accedian Networks recognised for growth & technology

Accedian Networks, a leading provider of Packet Performance Assurance solutions for telecom, cable and wireless communications providers, has been recognised as one of the top 25 emerging technology companies in the Branham 300 listing. Recently published in Backbone Magazine, the Branham 300 represents the fastest growing and most innovative companies in Canada‚s Information Communications Technology (ICT) sector. The list is released annually by the Branham Group, a multinational information technology and communications consulting organisation.

Accedian Networks‚ rapid growth is fuelled by a unique product line that addresses the shortcomings of Ethernet technology when used in wide area networking applications, including business access services and emerging high-speed 3G & 4G/WiMAX wireless communications. The company‚s solutions help service providers to establish robust, carrier-grade Ethernet and IP-based services over their existing networks by providing end-to-end service creation, management and performance assurance.

The enabling elements in Accedian Networks‚ Ethernet Service Assurance Platform (ESAP)² are the EtherNID and MetroNID intelligent network demarcation units, typically installed by service providers at customer premises, cell sites, and inter-carrier hand-off points to define a clear boundary between their network and those of their customers. The units feature advanced networking and test capabilities that allow providers to easily establish end-to-end Ethernet services, back them with service level agreements (SLAs), monitor and assure service quality, and remotely manage their services with standards-based operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) functionality.

"One of the most compelling portions of the Branham 300 list is the Up and Comers section, pointing as it does to the future direction of technology", explained Peter Wolchak, Editor of Backbone Magazine. "The Top 25 Up and Comers list represents Branham‚s best guess on which companies will make the biggest headlines in the years ahead, providing the definitive profile of Canada‚s high-tech sector."

"We are pleased to once again be recognized for our innovative products and continued growth", said Patrick Ostiguy, Accedian Networks‚ founding President & CEO. "Accedian Networks‚ solutions are uniquely designed to address the issues that service providers face in their transition to the packet-based networks and applications that represent the future of communications. Our products help providers to accelerate this transition, deploy new Ethernet services with confidence, and ultimately generate new sources of high-growth revenue that differentiate their offerings in today‚s highly competitive telecom marketplace."

Patrick Ostiguy will be presenting at the Capacity USA conference in New York this May 6 & 7th, and at the Light Reading Wireless Backhaul conference in Atlanta on May 8th. Accedian Networks will also be leading a Light Reading webinar on May 6th, addressing best-practices for efficient, large-scale Ethernet service deployment. Full event details are available on Accedian‚s web site.
