Motorola in deal with China’s Henan Cable

MUMBAI: In a step that will enhance video delivery for China‘s cable operator Henan Cable, Motorola Mobility has announced that Henan Cable has deployed the Motorola M3 Media Server for both Video On Demand (VOD) and Network Digital Video Recording (nDVR).

The M3 Media Server family, a solid-state platform for the delivery of content across TV, PC and mobile devices, has now been selected by operators in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia, representing a total of more than 25 million digital subscribers.

Henan Cable‘s new Motorola M3 Media Server deployment provides a VOD content delivery network, enabling Henan Cable to offer its more than 3.6 million subscribers a vast library of on demand content, as well as provide those subscribers on demand access to live television through the nDVR feature inherent within the M3 system.
 
The Motorola M3 Media Server allows Henan Cable to centralise its growing library of movies, TV shows, music videos and other content, and deliver it all based on a sophisticated analysis of show popularity and edge caching of content to servers closer to the subscribers. This approach allows Henan to reduce operational complexity and cost, while delivering advanced services and a wider selection of personalised content to its customers.

Having deployed more than a million video and audio content streams around the globe, Motorola says that it offers advantages in technology, on demand experience and global expertise for customers around the world.

The Motorola M3 Media Server family offers a platform for the delivery of high value media across cable and IPTV set-tops, PCs and mobile devices.

Henan Cable plans to expand their VOD system on the Motorola M3 Media Server later this year.
