Edgeware Delivers Orbit 2x Server System TeliaSonera

Edgeware, a supplier of server systems for on-demand TV, has announced that telecom operator TeliaSonera has deployed its Orbit 2x server system to deliver on-demand TV and video services to its IPTV subscriber base in Sweden.

According to the company, its distributed server architecture enabled TeliaSonera to integrate on-demand capabilities into its existing network, and to deliver new services to its 300,000 subscribers in record time.

The architecture is based on Edgeware’s Orbit 2x, which is a high density, high performance and ultra low power consumption video server appliance. Each Orbit 2x hosts up to 3TB of flash memory content storage and is capable of reliably streaming 20 Gbps to more than 16,000 concurrent users from anywhere in the network.

Joachim Roos, CEO of Edgeware, said: “We are pleased to announce that we have successfully deployed a sizable on-demand installation with TeliaSonera, one of most advanced IPTV service providers. This sends a strong message that we are not only highly competitive with attractive technology, but also capable of meeting the expectations and tight schedules of demanding customers, whatever their size.”
