Ericsson has come up with its Media Delivery Network (MDN) solution targeted towards the broadcast and operator communities. The solution enables video over IP applications.

Giles Wilson, Head of Technology, Solution Area TV, Ericsson, says, “On-line has become an established method for video watching because it allows you to share your favorite programs and clips with others. Enjoying video no longer ties you to your home but it brings challenges to the operators who have to carry the traffic on their networks. Through our MDN solution we created a platform for the ‘all video’ future in which anytime, anywhere, high-quality, personalized watching on any device is key, whilst helping operators to efficiently carry the increased traffic in their networks.”

According to Ericsson, the MDN is a media-centric network that supports multi-channel TV, video on demand, and over-the-top video content from the same core infrastructure. It includes solutions for distribution and delivery, coaching, storing, streaming, transcoding and the content management system (CMS). It also enables targeted advertising and fast channel changing across any platform to any screen.
