Verismo Networks Enhances Broadband Entertainment Solutions for TV Anywhere Experience

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Verismo Networks, the leading Broadband entertainment solutions provider used by ISPs, Telcos, OTT and IPTV service providers, has announced an enhancement in its Content, Cloud and Client offerings for IP-based delivery for its customers in 2012. Verismo's solutions are proven and deployed in over 120 countries. Its Mela business, which was launched last year as a global, consumer entertainment service, has quickly become the largest aggregator of South Asian content worldwide with over 70 live television channels and thousands of popular Bollywood and regional movies.

From Verismo's perspective, broadband IP-based delivery of video is poised for extreme growth in 2012, as broadband adoption continues to increase across the globe. Operators will continue to seek a reliable, secure, cost-effective and versatile media delivery platform that offers full control and manageability of their service. Consumers increasingly prefer a borderless lifestyle, with content available anywhere; TV or set-top, tablet, smartphone and even in-car entertainment.

Keeping these industry shifts and operator challenges in mind, Verismo's Cloud-based Managed Services have now expanded to multi-screen delivery beyond set-top box & DVR, with iPad and Roku applications as part of the initial client offering.

"The Mela Bollywood movies channel on the Roku streaming player has become an instant hit. It has surpassed all our expectations in the short period of two weeks since launching over the Christmas holidays," said Sab Kanaujia, the General Manager of Mela. "Verismo's solutions and deep technical expertise continue to provide us a competitive advantage in the marketplace and deliver to our subscribers a high-quality and enriching experience. "

"Verismo Networks' robust cloud services and client solutions have enabled us to bring a suite of Live TV channels including movies, music, news and other compelling entertainment directly to people's cars," said Ishwar Jha, CEO of Avani TV.
