Private Networks Chooses New Media Communication for Satellite-based Multimedia Education Service
New Media's CyberStream Will be Heart of Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association's Satellite-based Virtual Private Network to be Developed by Private Networks
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1998-- Here at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) New Media Communication, a subsidiary of Harmonic Lightwaves, Inc. (NASDAQ:HLIT - news), today announced that its CyberStream(tm) data-over-satellite system has been adopted by Private Networks, LLC. for the initial launch of its custom communication, education and training service. Private Networks assists organizations in developing custom communications infrastructures for the delivery of video, audio and data to individuals or groups via their desktop computers, regardless of their location.
For the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association, Private Networks is building a virtual private network using CyberStream. The goal for the association is to distribute a variety of healthcare-related multimedia information to thousands of healthcare professionals in 110 member hospitals and health systems across the state. The information will take the form of file transfers and MPEG streamed video that can be accessed at any time. Updated business, education and training information will be forwarded on a regular or as needed basis.
Private Networks is using a CyberStream headend at MicroSpace's North Carolina uplink facility to transmit information to a satellite from where it then is relayed to each association member's locations. New Media's ProCast(tm) data distribution software will be used at the uplink facility to schedule the individual transmissions to each facility. The transmissions will be received at each site by a small dish and the and the information will then be stored on a New Media Enterprise1(tm) PC-based router which is connected to the office's LAN for easy access by the hospital staff. Work on the association-wide network has already begun and is expected to be complete in October 1998.
