IneoQuest offers a comprehensive video quality assurance solution for Digital Broadband Satellite (DBS) providers to gain the business intelligence and real-time monitoring necessary for optimizing video delivery networks. The transition to HDTV offerings and expanded video content libraries was made possible when DBS providers rolled out complex contribution and distribution networks. In these networks, video content from different sources is aggregated, encoded and then transported over IP networks before being uplinked to satellites. Delivering video to subscribers not only depends on the link between satellites and their satellite dish, but also on hybrid terrestrial and fiber-based contribution and distribution networks. Video can be degraded along both contribution and distribution networks, all the way from the acquisition of video content to satellite uplink and delivery to the home.

The complexities and hybrid nature of the satellite operators’ service model leave ample room for video quality degradation that can impact customer experience. In this day and age, when consumer invest thousands of dollars in high performance television, sound equipment, and HD services, assuring video quality is essential in reducing customer churn and assuring revenue. Proactively maintaining excellent video quality is the key to reducing customer churn and assuring revenue.

Video Network Intelligence

In order to meet the demands and complexities of their video networks, satellite service providers must proactively manage their video networks. IneoQuest offers the video network intelligence that empowers our customers to intelligently prioritize and invest to meet their business needs. In addition, our end-to-end, real-time monitoring technologies pinpoint faults and instances of Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) degradation across the entire video delivery network so that satellite service providers can isolate and solve problems before their customers experience them.

IneoQuest Video Assurance Solution for Satellite covers a wide range of video transport technologies, including ASI, 8VSB, DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2, and IP. Our Adaptive Bitrate monitoring probes will provide essential insight as satellite providers move into the internet video space. Our probes monitor both the QoS and QoE of video in the entire network ensuring that customers get the best possible viewing experience.
