SDV: Cost-Effective Bandwidth and Services Expansion

The BigBand SDV solution is designed to optimize bandwidth utilization while also ensuring that all program tuning requests are satisfied at all times. By switching programs dynamically to subscriber service groups, new subscribers join existing program streams, thereby minimizing utilization of bandwidth. Programs not currently being transmitted are added as necessary, and those no longer being viewed in a service group are deleted.

This innovative approach frees up between 50% and 80% of the available digital spectrum, allowing operators to add content without a proportional increase in bandwidth consumption and network cost. With more bandwidth reclaimed, operators can choose to add new SD or HD programming, expand programming to include a broader assortment of niche content targeting local needs, implement addressable advertising and more. Operators also have greater flexibility to implement different quality of service levels to further maximize resource efficiency. Designed to provide massive scalability, the highest levels of reliability and the most open platform for third party interoperability, BigBand SDV provides the innovation engine to increase competitive service differentiation, improve subscriber satisfaction and maximize profitability.
