Deutsche Telekom is using Cisco’s Videoscape Distribution Suite (VDS) enhanced content delivery technology to power its recently launched TV Everywhere service called “Entertain to go.”
Cisco VDS, part of Cisco’s Videoscape Unity TV services delivery platform, enables the distribution of video content across multiple screens, protocols, applications and networks. VDS serves as the network distribution engine behind the Videoscape architecture. It is an open, component-based, complete, interoperable and holistic solution that bridges cloud and network functionality – providing greater levels of insight into, and management of, content delivery networks.
Deutsche Telekom’s “Entertain to go” service allows subscribers of its Entertain IPTV service to view 40 TV channels on their PCs and mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. Priced at €4.95 per-month the service gives access to the Entertain content on devices that are connected to the users’ home WiFi network, as well as allowing them to view on demand content from the Entertain video library.
