Integrated Carrier Grade TV Streaming Platform
When deploying an IPTV network that offers end-to-end
voice, data and video services, carriers need solutions
that give them a competitive edge. The difference rests
on reliability, availability, flexibility and quality
of service. Optibase, as a pioneer in professional encoding,
decoding, video server ingest and streaming, provides
the MGW 5100 for high-quality, high-reliability carrier
class IPTV head-end solutions. When deploying an IPTV
network that offer end-to-end voice, data and video
services, carriers need solutions that give them the
competitive edge. The difference rests on reliability,
availability, flexibility and quality of service. MGW
5100, an integrated carrier grade TV streaming platform
is designed to meet the challenge.
MGW 5100 lets carriers stream top quality TV over broadband
IP. MGW 5100 is a modular multi-service platform that
encodes, transcodes, transmits and recasts MPEG-1, MPEG-2,
MPEG 4 AVC/H.264, MPEG- 4 or Windows Media video channels
in real-time.
The MGW 5100 is complemented by a suite of professional
management solutions,which enable intuitive,simple management
of multiple platforms and hundreds of channels from
one centralized application. These capabilities provide
head-end managers and technical staff with powerful
tools to monitor, diagnose, and operate the systems
from any location. With MGW 5100, carriers get flexibility,
scalability and reliability in an integrated carrier
grade TV streaming platform that combines Optibase's
vast expertise in digital video, DVB encoding and streaming
over IP.
Main Benefits
- Full Service Range: MGW 5100 is
a complete solution for streaming media, with a single
box offering live video and DVB encoding, transcoding,
and streaming over IP networks.
- Flexibility: By combining I/ O
boards, service boards and network interface cards
(NICs) in a single chassis, operators can optimize
their range of service while minimizing risk.
- Carrier Grade Architecture: By
supporting host switch redundancy, N + K redundancy
and hot swap capabilities, MGW 5100 offers the highest
possible availability, reliability and robustness
with no single point of failure.
- Central SNMP Management: An advanced
and flexible SNMP-based management application enables
smooth integration into a centrally managed networking
facility.
- Lower Operational Expenditure (OPEX): With
this integrated solution you'll need fewer boxes resulting
in a smaller footprint, minimal inventory, less training
and one management system.
- Smooth Migration Options: A standard
reliable cPSB 2.16 platform facilitates smooth expansion
using standard off-the-shelf hardware.

- Supports IP over Gigabit/100BT Ethernet and IP
- Supports real-time upload to all standard video
servers
- Carrier grade cPSB 2.16 platform with hot-swap,
hot-insertion of all platform components and VxWorks
real-time operating system.
- Integrated solution with no single point of failure
Main Applications
- TV broadcast over IP broadband networks
- Video server upload for VOD, nPVR and time shifted
applications
MGW5100 Technical Specifications
- Chassis Description
MGW 5100 consists of a standard 10U cPSB 2.16 chassis
with 17 slots at the front and rear. Each slot is
individually connected by its own bus forming a star
topology, which is unique in the market. The entire
platform is based on IP architecture. The front slots
house service boards that perform processing operations
such as encoding, while the rear slots house video
I/ O boards. This hosting structure offers high flexibility
and efficiency by allowing service providers to optimize
the mix of service and I/ O boards according to their
solution needs. The MGW 5100 chassis offers redundancy
for power supplies, fans, system control boards and
service boards.
- Available Service Modules - All
service modules are hot-swappable and support plug&play.
