Among our many notable achievements, Unitel Group has been the first in the country to provide IPTV and OTT services as well as nationwide 4G coverage through massive investment in digital infrastructure, said Tulga Otgonbayar, Chief Information Officer at Univision. “In order to keep delivering the best experience for our customers, we wanted to join forces with a strategic video delivery partner who could help our IPTV and OTT services grow, and Broadpeak has an outstanding reputation in the industry, Broadpeak’s CDN solution will enable us to deliver a wide scope of video content, including live, VOD, catch-up, and time-shift TV leveraging ABR for all screens and to keep subscribers engaged.”

Univision has deployed Broadpeak’s BkS350™ origin packager, BkM100™ video delivery mediator, BkS400™ HTTP video cache servers, BkA100™ video delivery analytics. Broadpeak provides Univision with a complete analytics solution that can track metrics both on the server side (through the CDN) and on the client side (through the media player and QoE), enabling the operator to perform capacity planning, troubleshooting, and video consumption analysis.

Broadpeak’s Advanced CDN offers a hybrid IPTV and OTT solution and comes fully integrated with top-of-the-line TV platform and content protection from Viaccess Orca, including CMS, DRM, player and apps.
