Reliacast and WAVO Team Up To Deliver Interactive Internet Content and
Entertainment
Alliance Provides Tools to Manage, Measure and Control Internet Content to Large, Targeted Audiences
HERNDON, Va., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Launching the first of many strategic alliances in its Early Success Program, Reliacast, Inc., an Internet infrastructure
software company, today announced that it is joining forces with WAVO Corporation (Nasdaq: WAVO - news) to deliver high-quality Internet content and
entertainment to mass audiences. Under the initial agreement, WAVO will utilize Reliacast's next generation software solution to measure, manage and control
exclusive, live, ticketed concerts, adding to the mix of services offered by Virgin JamCast.
Virgin JamCast.com, a unique partnership between WAVO and Virgin Entertainment Group, plans to leverage Reliacast's technology to enhance the array of
services available to music fans worldwide. Utilizing Reliacast's software solutions, Virgin JamCast will assure both a high-quality experience for end-users and the
ability to meet its distribution objectives.
``We are excited to be working with WAVO and Virgin JamCast, one of the leading music content providers on the Web today,'' commented Tom Klaff, president
and CEO of Reliacast, Inc. ``Through this alliance, we will help Virgin JamCast deliver music and live events with greater reliability than possible before. Our
management and monitoring tools will also help to address many of the bandwidth and provisioning challenges in the network today, allowing scalable broadcast
capabilities.''
Among other innovative tools offered through its relationship with Reliacast, Virgin JamCast will be able to issue ``e-tickets'' to audience participants of webcasts
and other online events to capture vital demographic information. In addition, the capability to limit audience participation to a maximum ``sold out'' number will give
participants a guaranteed quality of service level and aid in creating the optimum network configuration for the event. Empowered by these new tools, Virgin
JamCast will have the opportunity to design creative content, events and concepts, thereby broadening marketing possibilities.
``We're determined to provide our customers with ready access to the highest-quality entertainment and news content. Reliacast's innovative software solutions
enable us to deliver on this promise with a powerful combination of technology and management tools,'' said Peter M. White, president and chief operating officer of
WAVO Corporation.
Reliacast's Early Success Program is designed for customers seeking to realize the full potential of the interactive Internet experience. Through their participation,
businesses can eliminate the invisibility of their audiences; authenticate their customer base; and develop new and enhanced revenue streams.
