POST Luxembourg, the largest telecommunications provider in the country, has chosen Synamedia's Fluid EdgeCDN to power its linear IPTV service POP TV and other streaming services. This decision follows a successful proof of concept that demonstrated the ability of Synamedia's CDN to leverage POST's existing on-premises infrastructure while reducing the number of CDN servers required by 50%, leading to significant savings in energy consumption and operational costs.
Synamedia's CDN offers POST valuable insights into network analytics and quality of experience metrics on the player, enabling the company to continually optimize system configuration and performance. Furthermore, the CDN supports the latest standards, including the Common Media Client Data (CMCD) open specification for players' video streaming data, ensuring POST has the most optimal CDN solution for its end users.
"With the support service from our previous CDN provider coming to an end, Synamedia, as one of the key CDN providers in the industry, was on our shortlist and we quickly conducted a proof of concept. Synamedia's CDN met all our requirements and is able to support our IPTV and VOD services with the performance and technology we expect," said Gilles Robinet, head of fixed voice, media and device management service at POST Technologies.
POST Technologies, the wholesale organization of POST Luxembourg Group, operates POST Fixed and Mobile telecommunication networks, IPTV and streaming services as well as national and international connectivity for local and foreign operators. POST serves nearly half of the Grand Duchy's IPTV market and offers streaming services to hospitality and other sectors.
Julien Signes, EVP of Video Network at Synamedia, emphasized the benefits of Fluid EdgeCDN for POST. "Our Fluid EdgeCDN will give POST many benefits including visibility and control over video delivery. With the scalability and optimization of its new networks, POST will cut the cost of video delivery and reduce energy requirements while users will enjoy a higher quality viewing experience."
