Entone Technologies has inked a deal to support a rollout of video-on-demand (VOD) by Iowa Network Services (INS), a firm that provides network services to 148 independent telcos in the state.
Under the arrangement, Entone will supply its StreamLiner video server, Armada asset manager, and its “Ingest Gateway,” which manages the intake of pre-encrypted digital video assets and associated metadata.
Entone noted that its asset management system will automate the distribution of VOD assets from INS’ central headend to telco affiliates via the INS fiber backbone.
INS’ telco partners provide services to about 500,000 customers.
