TORONTO – Adara Technologies is taking its Switched IP Video (SIPV) solution south of the border to Scottsboro Electric Power Board, a triple-play cable operator based in Scottsboro, AL with over 10,000 homes passed.
Adara said that its SIPV solution delivers video more efficiently by “switching” the programs into network service groups only when they are requested, rather than wasting valuable bandwidth by the typical practice of broadcasting all channels, to all set-top boxes, all the time. The benefit is that SIPV can free up to 80% or more of an operator’s video bandwidth in as little as 90 days so that it can be immediately used for DOCSIS 3.0, 3.1 or full duplex expansion to multi-gigabit, reads the news release.
“Scottsboro’s goals for 2017 – expanding DOCSIS and increasing HD and 4K video cost effectively – did not appear to be possible to them until they learned about the Switched IP Video solution,” said Adara CEO and co-founder Joseph Nucara, in the release. “Not only does Adara’s SIPV solution meet their Internet expansion and video upgrade goals, but they are now able to avoid analog reclamation, an HFC plant upgrade, and STB upgrades, each of which was many times the cost of the SIPV solution.”
