PARIS, FRANCE — (Marketwire) — 09/05/11 — Anevia, a leader in video streaming solutions and service infrastructure for live TV and video on demand (VOD), announced today, that it has deployed a Pause TV solution for Portuguese mobile telephone operator and IPTV service provider Optimus.
Optimus, owned by communications service provider Sonaecom, deployed an FTTH network in Portugal that already reaches more than 400,000 households, offering Triple Play services and advanced interactive functionalities.
Anevia ViaDemand is a carrier-grade software-based solution for delivering video-on-demand services through IP networks. Anevia-s circular buffer technology supports time-shifting applications including Pause TV which allows viewers to pause a live television program and afterwards play a recording from where they left off.
Anevia deployed its ViaDemand Streamer software to enable Optimus to offer Pause TV features to its customers. Dynamic load balancing of recorded content across the Optimus IP network is managed through the Anevia ViaManager software.
“In order to offer our customers advanced IPTV features and the best viewing experience possible we decided on Anevia-s solution,” said Ricardo Cerqueira, Service Architecture Manager at Optimus. “Thanks to Anevia-s software as well as their IPTV expertise we were able to launch our new Pause TV service in record time.”
“IPTV is much more than just video over IP. It-s also about advanced features, such as time-shifting, that allow Optimus to continually innovate and enhance the viewing experience of their growing customer base,” said Damien Lucas, Anevia co-founder and VP Strategy.
