Optibase, Ltd. announced that Visions West, LLC has selected the company's MGW 5100 carrier grade IPTV streaming platform for an upgrade to their Lexington, NC headend. This upgrade includes the addition of 70 video and 38 music channels and will enable Visions West to expand delivery of advanced TV services to its subscribers.
"Optibase's scalable solution is very appealing to our business model," said Jim Crabtree, Chairman of Visions West. "We were maintaining two separate platforms before and are now streaming all of our services on an ATM backbone through Optibase MGW 5100's. One of the attractive features of Optibase is the capability to stream ATM and IP concurrently. This will become a very cost effective option as we begin to trial delivery of video using IP technology."
