Orbit FCC/RET Server
Fast Channel Change and
Live Retransmission Server
The Edgeware Orbit FCC/RET Server ensures a superior and guaranteed
Quality of Experience (QoE) of a live IPTV service, even over unreliable networks. The Edgeware solution efficiently prevents channel change delays
and packet loss without the need for costly and time-consuming network
upgrades. This enables IPTV operators to attract new subscribers and reduce churn while reaching a larger part of its existing subscriber base with a
premium HD quality pay-TV service.
As operators increasingly deliver their video services over IP, guaranteeing pay-TV
quality is essential. The Edgeware FCC/RET solution enables operators to fully leverage high compression delivery formats such as H.264 without compromising the
user experience. H.264 allows high definition TV delivery over low speed lines by
increasing the time between the Group of Pictures (GOPs) in a video stream. This
substantially reduces file sizes but also makes it more sensitive to packet loss, and
extends channel change times of up to 24 seconds.
Fast Channel Change (FCC) brings the zap time back to less than a second and
Retransmission (RET) eliminates visual and audio distortions by resending lost video
packets. This is achieved by delivering unique unicast bursts to each consumer. Deploying FCC/RET servers in centralized data centers can therefore significantly increase network traffic, especially at peak hours and during popular live events.
Utilizing core Edgeware technology enables operators to implement FCC and live
RET functionality at the network edge which dramatically offloads this unicast traffic
and avoids costly and time-consuming network upgrades. This approach also further
improves the QoE by reducing latency and susceptibility to congestion.
Another key Edgeware advantage is instant scalability through license keys of up
to 20 Gbps output and 4 Gbps ingest bandwidth per 1U server. The Orbit FCC/RET
server is a highly reliable network appliance with a peak power consumption of less
than 75 W, and a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 10 years, which guarantees
Key Benefits:
