Do you want to follow events that are live streamed even in the most remote parts of the country? You can, and with the highest quality, as demonstrated by the multicast signal distribution trial on the satellite network that TIM successfully launched in cooperation with Eutelsat and Broadpeak

Thanks to the multicast functionality, live events can be streamed without duplicate transmission streams, thus relieving the network of traffic peaks and enabling optimal enjoyment of live broadcasts, even for HD and UltraHD video content, regardless of the number of simultaneous viewers.  The same content is in fact distributed widely and simultaneously to connected users, without occupying additional network and transmission resources, while also ensuring the simultaneous availability of adequate bandwidth for all other satellite services.

The trial, which took place on the TIM Vision Box in multicast Adaptative Bit Rate (ABR) mode, was carried out with EUTELSAT KONNECT, a geostationary satellite dedicated to providing Internet services in Europe and Africa. The collaboration also involved Broadpeak, which provided the nanoCDN™ content distribution solution.
