iStreamPlanet, a leading provider of live event and live linear
streaming video solutions, has signed a strategic video
contribution and distribution agreement with Indian data and voice
communications giant Tata Communications to enable live video
streaming onto connected devices anywhere in the world.
Combining iStreamPlanet's live video workflow services with Tata
Communications' existing video services for transport of video over
its global network of submarine fiber and satellite will allow both
companies to provide multiscreen, live linear streaming services
for content owners, aggregators, and distributors around the world.
Customers will benefit from an enhanced video workflow solution, as
well as extended reach into fast-growing emerging markets for new
business opportunities.
In an increasingly connected world with events and video having
truly worldwide appeal, Tata Communications' Video Connect and
satellite delivery services will enable a full set of features,
which include content acquisition and delivery from (and to)
practically any corner of the globe through Tata Communications'
global network architecture. These features will make it easier for
customers to transport high-quality live video feeds from over 300
locations worldwide to iStreamPlanet's live video solutions,
including Aventus, a scalable, cloud-based live video workflow
solution slated for release late in the second quarter. The
combined services of Tata Communications and iStreamPlanet will now
offer a truly end-to-end solution with advanced media backhaul and
processing capabilities.
"Tata Communications is one of the biggest communications
providers in the world, particularly in emerging markets, and our
partnership will open up new opportunities in markets that are on
the edge of tremendous growth in connected media," said Chris
Carper, senior vice president of business development at
iStreamPlanet. "Our combined workflow enables content providers of
all sizes to take advantage of the growing demand for live
streaming video on connected devices."
Rangu Salgame, chief executive officer, Growth Ventures, Tata
Communications said, "This agreement enhances the video service
offerings for both partners. Our strength in providing media
movement services for contribution and distribution of video for
multiscreen OU (occasional use), such as sports events and live
linear, coupled with iStreamPlanet's expertise in streaming video,
make a compelling value proposition for media organizations looking
at expanding to new geographies and audiences. By offering
end-to-end management, we are making it easier than ever before for
them to gain new revenue opportunities in emerging markets."

innovative and efficient tools that allow media and entertainment
