NEW YORK — Broadpeak®, a leading provider of content delivery network (CDN) and video streaming solutions for content providers and pay-TV operators worldwide, announced today that Southern Oregon internet service provider Beacon Broadband will launch a new video streaming service powered by Broadpeak’s peakVU.TV. The operator will use peakVU.TV as part of a joint offering that also includes Amdocs’ Vubiquity platform for linear channel aggregation. Leveraging its strategic alliance under a renewed Vubiquity agreement with the National Content & Technology Cooperative (NCTC), the offering will enable Beacon Broadband to deliver an advanced video streaming experience to subscribers, including broadcast-quality live TV, catch-up TV, network DVR, and VOD content.

Broadpeak’s peakVU.TV video streaming service is hosted in the cloud, which will allow a fast time to market and low opex for Beacon Broadband. peakVU.TV leverages advanced software solutions, including video origin, video packaging, HTTP video cache servers, and CDN. The video streaming service is integrated with Amdocs’ Vubiquity platform to streamline the delivery of linear feeds, providing Beacon Broadband with a complete solution for video streaming.

Broadpeak’s peakVU.TV features market-leading service availability and robust security based on industry practices, assuring high reliability for video streaming.
