HiNet, the data communications business group of Chunghwa Telecoms in Taiwan, has selected Anevia to further expand its TV network.
The company already broadcasts across 280 channels, with around one hundred thousand OTT users. However, with demand for channels continuing to grow, it has selected Anevia’s NEA-DVR software to add further content delivery network capacity to its infrastructure.
NEA-DVR enables HiNet to stream live and on-demand content in the required multiple protocols (HLS, DASH, MSS), in order to reach all type of end-user devices, while applying multiple DRMs which protects the content.
Anevia worked with its local partner, WeiTech, throughout the bid and will continue to do so during implementation and beyond.
“Through our regional partnership with WeiTech, not only are we able to grow our presence within APAC but we’re pleased that we will now also be able to support operators like HiNet in providing a seamless and satisfying viewing experience for its viewers,” said Antoine Hugoo, APAC sales director for telco and media at Anevia. “Our NEA-DVR satisfies the growing flexibility needed to meet the demands of the market and to support content delivery, including 4K, while still accommodating standard definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) output.”
