Kontron Fuels SPB TV Cloud Based Media Solutions

Mobile operators and IP/OTT TV service providers to catch joint demonstration at Mobile World Congress

Augsburg, GERMANY, February 23, 2015 – Kontron, a cloud and NFV/SDN infrastructure platform innovator, today announced that it is supporting SPB TV with recent field trials to deploy high-density unified media platforms using the Kontron SYMKLOUD Series of converged modular servers. Attendees at the upcoming Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona, March 2-5, can visit the SPB TV stand 5D41 in Hall 5, to experience the combined cloud-based media delivery hardware-software solution.
 
The SPB TV media platform provides award-winning intuitive UI, effective monetization tools, and reliable video delivery and playback across any wireless network. Highly versatile, the SPB TV media platform combines TV encoder, TV Middleware and TV streamer into one modular platform. From a single 2U Symkloud enclosure, SPB TV can achieve up to 180 HD channels of simultaneous high-quality, multi-rate transcoded video streams.
 
“This is a game-changer for the OTT TV, IP TV and mobile TV service technology industry,” said Kirill Filippov, CEO of SPB TV. “The increase in channel density is massive per Symkloud 2U platform. Match this with a dramatic reduction in the required physical footprint, power consumption and cooling, and the result is a win-win for any video operator’s bottom line.”
 
“SPB TV is leading an exciting and forward-thinking segment of the video and cloud TV delivery solutions,” said Sven Freudenfeld, Telecom-Cloud Business Development, EMEA, Kontron. “We are pleased to help advance SPB TV’s award-winning media solutions and services with the flexible and scalable Symkloud COTS modular platform, designed with integrated 10GbE switching and up to 18 Intel Core i7 4860EQ GT3e Iris Pro processors.”
