What is nanoCDN^TM
multicast ABR for?

Broadpeak’s nanoCDN^TM makes it possible to deliver adaptive bitrate formats (HLS, DASH) over satellite, and therefore reach not only set-top boxes but also tablets, smartphones or other connected devices with a stream that has the quality of DTH broadcast. Adopting adaptive bitrate formats on Satellite also allows merging Satellite and OTT offer into one consistent experience and brings on the set-top box advantages that, so far, were only available on mobile devices, such as content personalization and targeted advertisement.

nanoCDN^TM has been specifically designed to avoid any kind of regression compared to traditional Broadcast, in particular, it implements optimizations for ultra-low latency such as HTTP chunked transfer encoding and CMAF chunking, bringing down the latency after encoding to a negligible amount.

In summary, nanoCDN^TM is the opportunity for Satellite operators to unify video delivery to TVs and to all other screens into one single full-ABR system.

How does nanoCDN^TM work?

• A transcaster server in the head-end retrieves its sources from any OTT Origin server and wraps them into a satellite compatible stream.
• At the other end, a lightweight agent in the home CPE, typically a set-top box, receives and unwraps the stream to make the content available to all devices in the home. The technology integrates easily into any existing ecosystem.
