RED HERRING 100 EUROPE AWARD FOR UDCAST
Red Herring has selected UDcast as a recipient of Red Herring 100 Europe 2007, an award given to the private technology companies based in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region each year.
The Award Recognizes the 100 "Most Promising" Companies Driving the Future of Technology. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work. Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 700 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
NEWTEC AND UDCAST TO LAUNCH SATELLITE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR MOBILE TV VIA DVB-H
The new partnership between UDcast and Newtec, a leading manufacturer of satellite communication equipment and systems, will lead to total mobile TV solution that offers a unique and efficient way of sending national, regional and local channels as well as advertising to different markets.
"Newtec and UDcast are both strong believers in the mobile TV market and in the DVB-H technology in particular. We are also convinced that satellite represents the most efficient way to distribute DVB-H signals in national mobile TV networks," says Serge Van Herck, CEO of Newtec.
The two companies will jointly provide the mobile TV market ecosystem with a comprehensive solution for the primary distribution of DVB-H signals via satellite for commercial deployments in Q3 2007.
IPANEMA AND UDCAST PARTNER TO DEVELOP WIDE AREA NETWORK ACCELERATION SOLUTION
The joint solution of UDcast and Ipanema Technologies, a leader in application traffic management systems for wide area networks (WANs), will accelerate file based applications over terrestrial and satellite wide area networks. "Enterprises today are striving to improve productivity and are becoming increasingly dependent on the efficiency of their networked critical applications. Ipanema Business Network Optimization is addressing many aspects of business critical application performance maximization through its Visibility, Optimization and Acceleration features. Through this partnership with UDcast we will be able to add the support of filebased applications to our existing acceleration capabilities. The combination of Ipanema features with state-of-the-art disk based caching/compression and application protocol optimization will further enhance the ability of the solution to assist IT departments by paying attention to issues such as user satisfaction, cost reduction, risk management and control of complexity," said Frank Lyonnet, director product management, Ipanema Technologies. The joint solution is scheduled for launch in Q4 2007.
WHITE PAPER - STATISTICAL MULTIPLEXING
The consumer studies on the usage of Mobile TV, show that a large choice of TV channels is required for the commercial success of this service. The Statistical Mulplexing enables an increase of up to 40 per cent in the number of TV channels broadcasted over the air. The open architecture, proposed and published by UDcast enables all DVB-H solutions providers and operators to implement statistical multiplexing in the most efficient way. The solution is fully compliant with the current DVB-H standard, and takes into account the all keys system components as IP encapsulators, video encoders, terminals as well as the service requirements for national and local content. The open standard DVB-H statistical multiplexing is commercially available and undergoes trials in Italy, USA, France and Finland.
