Teleste's Solution Running at the Heart of 'the Headend of the Future' in Wroclaw, Poland

TURKU, Finland, September 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

The Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland has deployed Teleste's headend solution to construct its Multimedia Laboratory for research and development in future multimedia services 

Teleste Corporation, a leading provider of video and broadband technologies and related services, announced today that the company has provided a complete, integrated headend infrastructure for the use of research and development at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland. The deployment has taken place in 2016 and the devices were delivered by Satlan Sp. z o.o., Teleste's subsidiary in Poland.

Including the Luminato headend platform and the Ubique software framework, Teleste's deployment is an elemental part for the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology's new Multimedia Laboratory, opened just this year. The Laboratory's aim is to research versatile phenomena related to advanced streaming services such as OTT and VOD in broadband networks, and the way these services are used by consumers. One of the key focus areas of the laboratory is finding out new approaches on to how to measure quality of service and how to transfer service quality to higher levels of customer satisfaction.

"Today, delivery of video streaming services is strongly driven by the growing consumer demand for high-quality video across multiple devices. To successfully engage and win over customers in the tightening competition, businesses must deliver a consistent, high quality experience on all devices. However, defining and measuring the level of quality is not  a straightforward task", says Julius Tikkanen, Vice President of Video Service Platforms for Teleste. "We are pleased that the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology is putting emphasis on research and development of headend technologies and on how to measure quality of experience. We are looking forward to learn about the findings and innovations of their Multimedia Laboratory in the future."
