Mobility Operators
Mobile streaming is changing the way viewers consume television. Increasingly, consumers are using
mobile broadband connections and intelligent portable devices to view an expanding amount of content.
Live streaming is quickly becoming standard practice for active consumers on the go. The demand for this
type of consumption will increase tenfold over the next few years. Mobility operators must stay ahead of
the competition or face the reality of losing out on market share. Since operators package mobility
services with conventional services, the loss or gain of market share can be consequential depending upon
progressive or reactionary management. As you implement your mobility offering by adding additional
services, special consideration has to be made for the broadcasters you carry. Broadcasters may not have
purchased the mobility rights to the programming being carried. In these cases, the broadcast must be
blacked out or changed to alternate programming. For Canadian customers, substitution is also required.
Broadcast Controls Inc. can help mobility operators with the unique challenges associated to mobility
blackout and substitution on multiple platforms using multi-bit rates. Solutions for broadcasting rights
management and blackouts are essential to protect the integrity of the broadcast system and meet the
carriers' legal obligations. Failure to execute proper rights through substitution and blackouts can have
legal consequences for both the broadcaster and carrier. BCI takes this responsibility seriously in providing
the most reliable and flexible solutions on the market. Support for multi-vendor hardware gives you the
freedom to use the hardware that works best for your facility. Your engineers can evaluate the optimal
hardware to ensure quality throughout your headend and BCI will provide the proven software and drivers
to make it all happen.
