TV solutions group showcases Infinity IP intercom at CABSAT 2018
MUMBAI: The Telos Alliance TV Solutions Group is bringing the power of Audio Over IP (AoIP) to the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region at CABSAT 2018 at stand Z4-110 with its new Telos Infinity™ IP Intercom. A quantum leap in scalability, ease of integration, efficiency and total cost of ownership, Telos Infinity IP Intercom represents a total reimagining of broadcast communications.
Beyond simply a talkback system, the Telos Infinity IP Intercom brings together voice communication and contribution audio on a single IT backbone and employs the latest standards-based VoIP and Livewire+ AES67 AoIP transport to provide dedicated features and functionality without compromise or limitations.
Replacing outmoded matrix technology with an advanced, distributed IP solution allows plug-and-play networked devices to be added to the system as part of a planned or ad-hoc expansion without the worry of exceeding the number of available ports on a matrix.
“MEASA is one of the fastest growing regions in the world for media and entertainment with a strong appetite for innovative new technology,” said Martin Dyster, VP of Business Development, TV Solutions Group. “Our Telos Infinity IP Intercom meets this demand by unleashing the full potential of a distributed IP audio infrastructure. And because it natively supports Livewire+ AES67, it seamlessly connects with our own AoIP products as well as those from other supporting manufacturers.”
Telos Infinity IP Intercom easily integrates into existing analog, AES, SDI, and MADI systems using Telos Alliance xNode baseband-to-IP interfaces, as well as other Livewire+ AES67 solutions. Its ease of integration provides customers with the versatility and cost-efficiency of using their existing infrastructure for advanced AoIP communication and contribution applications.
The Telos Infinity IP Intercom system includes rack-mounted Intercom Master Panels, rack-mounted Master Expansion Panels, Master Desktop Stations, wired Dual Channel Partyline Beltpacks, and Dashboard Software in Basic and Premium versions.

MUMBAI: When the world hit refresh on breaking news, Network18’s channels were already streaming ahead. As geopolitical tensions and war-driven headlines fuelled a surge in global news consumption, the network’s digital playbook delivered big clocking record Youtube viewership across English, Hindi and business news categories in March 2026.

The network’s dominance wasn’t confined to general news.

Meanwhile, its English counterpart CNBC-TV18 posted a strong 58 million views, reinforcing the network’s cross-category strength.
The spike in viewership reflects a broader shift in audience behaviour, with viewers increasingly turning to digital platforms particularly Youtube for real-time updates and in-depth coverage during high-intensity news cycles.
