Cisco IP NGN Video Optimized Transport

The solution Cisco IP NGN Video Optimized Transport which will help telecom operators and broadcasters to deliver video services of new generation (for example, 3-D TV) using convergent architecture of IP NGN. This solution lifts quality of the user services to rather high level, simplifies work of telecom operators and helps them to save financial resources.

According to the forecast of development of visual network technologies (Cisco Visual Networking Index Forecast, 2009-2014), in the next 5 years the volume of video traffic will grow by more than 500 percent and will be nearly a half of zettabyte. As a result the video traffic share in the total amount of IP traffic will exceed 50 percent, and income from video traffic by 2014 will be 250 billion US dollars. Thus, Carrier Ethernet networks will have to transfer video of different formats to the most different terminal units without loss of quality. The solution Cisco IP NGN Video Optimized Transport will help broadcasters and operators to build the networks capable to bring high-quality video on the systems of distribution of new generation and on the normal systems (for example, from stadium to studio) and also primary (from studio to the operator) and secondary (from the operator to the consumer) to distribution channels.

Main characteristics of the new transport solution Cisco

• The most complete transport solution optimized for video. The solution Cisco IP NGN Video Optimized Transport is based on the video architecture working without loss of packets. It allows to maintain high quality of video and to implement innovative technologies of "smart" routing of signals bypassing the crowded and faulty sections of network. As a result operators and broadcasters will be able to provide to the customers best quality services.
• The integrated means of linear video monitoring and performance management. Monitoring helps broadcasters to pass the decision Cisco IP NGN Video Optimized Transport, to detect falling of quality and to isolate faulty sections of network. This solution for the first time in the industry supports linear video monitoring with capacity of 160 gigabits on the slot without use of the allocated hardware and network a blade systems. The new solution of Cisco up to 22 times cuts down a capital expenditure in comparison with the cheapest competitive offer in the field.
• Agreement on guaranteed quality of video (SLA) with Cisco Services. New solutions of Cisco maintain the most strict parameters of quality using anticipatory preventive services. As a result operators and broadcasters can gain an additional income due to the multilevel services based on agreements of SLA.
• The infrastructure of Ethernet of operator quality based on standards gives to the operator confidence and reliability. It maintains the maximum compatibility of technologies that especially important to operators and broadcasters who pass from traditional multiplexing of TDM to IP and Ethernet technologies.
• The checked safe delivery. One of the operators, largest in Asia, – Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) company uses the solution of Cisco IP NGN Video Optimized Transport for delivery of broadcasting video of high resolution without compression on IP infrastructure to hundreds of millions of audience on all globe.
