Net Insight Announces Tata Communications as First Customer Using Truly Live OTT Solution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Companies sign framework agreement to deliver global, truly live OTT service
Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, the leading provider of live, interactive and
on-demand media transport, today announces that global communications service
provider Tata Communications is Net Insight's first customer to implement its
truly live over-the-top (OTT) solution globally. The two companies have signed a
framework agreement covering the use of Net Insight's solution, which enables
Tata Communications to integrate Net Insight's solution in its Media Ecosystem,
including its Video Connect service, underpinned by the company's global
network. This will allow Tata Communications to provide its media and
entertainment customers with a range of live OTT content management and delivery
services.
Traditional OTT content delivery is not built for live OTT, as it is optimized
for video on demand (VoD) and catch-up TV. Because of this, solutions are ill
equipped for the delivery of live OTT with unpredictable delay and critical
synchronization issues. They are unable to deliver multiscreen TV so that every
viewer, using any device, experiences the exact same content at the same time.
Net Insight's live OTT solution enables customers to overcome live OTT
challenges by harmonizing the 1(st) and 2(nd) screen. With unprecedented
capability to synchronize multiscreen TV in real time, Net Insight paves the way
for the monetization of the massive commercial value found in live content, such
as major international sports events. In addition to synchronization, the 1(st)
and 2(nd) screens will be integrated, enabling the 2(nd) screen to serve as an
extension of the viewing experience and a tool for interactivity. The
combination of synchronization and the integrated 2(nd) screen opens up
significant business potential via viewer engagement with advertising;
interactivity in gaming, truly live interactive betting, voting and polling, and
as a device to interact via social media - all within the real-time TV viewing
experience.
"The OTT market is growing rapidly, driven by people's hunger to watch their
favorite shows, anytime, anywhere, on any device, but to-date, the time lag with
OTT content delivery has prevented its widespread use with live events." says
Brian Morris, vice president & general manager, Global Media and Entertainment
services, Tata Communications. "By building Net Insight's innovative technology
into our global Media Ecosystem, we can empower media companies to manage,
deliver and broadcast live OTT content in sync, anywhere in the world, and to
harness live sports and music events for additional revenues, as people's
evolving content consumption habits continue to disrupt the industry,"
"We have worked closely with Tata Communications for many years and as a result
of the company's willingness to drive market innovation and ability to move
swiftly, Tata Communications' global customers can now experience a truly live
OTT service." said Fredrik Tumegård CEO of Net Insight. "Net Insight's ability
to support truly live OTT services and harmonize TV across multi-user or multi-
devices is game-changing and will put service providers back into the OTT value
chain."
