TV18 BROADCAST LTD - CHALLENGE

TV18 Broadcast Ltd reached out to Quickstream™ at the beginning of February 2020 asking for an easy and reliable solution for linear tv channel distribution over IP. The company wanted to deliver four different live feeds from their location in Hyderabad to three locations across India - to MUMBAI and to two separate offices in NOIDA, so these 4 streams could finally reach four separate DVB Decoders across INDIA. After reviewing our materials technicians received license keys for the whole setup and started the trial period. After one month of trial, the solution proved to be stable, reliable, and easy to maintain.
