Belgium´s largest Telco provider Belgacom has given the seal of
approval for RawFlow´s award winning state of the art proprietary P2P
technology.
The deal will see Belgacom´s subsidiary Telindus integrated into
RawFlow´s Global iCDN network as well as rolling out RawFlow´s P2P
content distribution technology across its expansive Telco
infrastructure.
Mikkel Dissing, President of RawFlow comments: "We are very happy
to be working with Telindus alongside Belgacom. Having recently
announced 99.7% broadband penetration in Belgium, Belgacom is one of
the world leaders in Broadband provision and have a network over which
RawFlow´s P2P technology will create substantial enhancements and
savings. We solve distribution problems by going beyond the ´edge´
directly to the customers".
John Vanhoucke, manager of the Belgacom Telindus Streaming Media
Competence Centre commented: "Telindus are very pleased to be fore
runners in adopting RawFlow´s P2P technology to expand our live
streaming capabilities across our Telco infrastructure".
After months of rigorous testing and benchmarking against fierce
competition, RawFlow´s proprietary P2P solution delivered the most
reliable, scalable, cost efficient and high quality live streaming
broadcasts.
The approval of RawFlow´s hybrid CDN which augments their
proprietary P2P technology signifies a ´thumbs up´ for the use of P2P
technology in the Telco sector and demonstrates the real and proven
benefits over unicasting. This is further reinforced by test cases
carried out by major Telco´s in Europe including French National
broadcaster TF1 (www.TF1.com).
RawFlow have recently launched iCDN, a free no obligation trial
with the first 1000GB of data transfer for free. Visit www.Rawflow.com
