Financially troubled Global Crossing said it has launched its digital-video transport services offering, which provides broadband connectivity to support the transport and delivery of video, audio and digital media content.
The delivery of the content takes place over Global Crossing's Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network, officials said. The services use a multi-tiered, fully redundant platform that supports network-based transmission of multimedia broadcasts and live events, with television-quality video and CD-quality sound.
John Legere, chief executive officer of Global Crossing, said, "Our digital video transport services are a cost-effective way for broadcasters to deliver high-quality video to any of the 200 major cities around the world touched by Global Crossing's network. Digital broadcasting will benefit the companies that produce and distribute digital media, as well as the businesses and consumers who seek a more interactive experience from the Internet and television."
Digital video transport services currently employs constant bit rate (CBR) based permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) over ATM. Global Crossing is working with equipment vendors to expand the service into a fully outsourced solution that would include encoding and decoding equipment necessary to send and receive audio and video over ATM.
Global Crossing will target the comprehensive network service/equipment offer to broadcasters and producers of live events with distribution and video transport services.
While targeted to media and entertainment companies, digital video transport services can also support applications for government, health care, education and other industries, Global Crossing said.
Global Crossing declared bankruptcy late last month.
