The recently launched services operate over Antenna Hungaria's Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System (MMDS) wireless cable network, which is currently the largest MMDS deployment in Europe and reaches three million Budapest-area households and businesses. "Having carried out exhaustive testing of the CyberStream system, we have every confidence in using it as the heart of our service," said Istvan Mate, director general of Antenna Hungaria. "We are committed to using the latest technologies and products in order to offer our subscribers and commercial customers the most innovative and useful data and video services. CyberStream's impressive performance and support for industry standards makes it the perfect choice for our service." Antenna Hungaria is addressing both consumer and commercial markets concurrently with this MMDS-based service. To provide consumers with high-speed Internet access over 10 times faster than possible with conventional phone lines, and such push multimedia services as video and audio, the company is supplying New Media's CyberStream MMDS receiver cards to subscribers. These fit into subscribers' PCs and can receive data at up to 52 Mbit/s via outdoor antennas which receive the MMDS transmissions. For its commercial customers, Antenna Hungaria is providing high-speed Internet and Intranet access, data broadcasting and IP-multicasting push services. These services allow Antenna Hungaria's business customers to efficiently and cost-effectively distribute data, software applications and other business-related content to their employees. In addition to CyberStream receiver cards, Antenna Hungaria is using New Media's Enterprise1 LAN router to provide commercial customers with these services. "The CyberStream system is a fully DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) and MPEG-2 (Motion Picture Experts Group) compliant system for MMDS that is available today," said Samuel Kreiner, New Media's vice president of international sales. "This is one of the main reasons why Antenna Hungaria, chose the system. It can be integrated with their existing satellite and cable television networks for the delivery of existing and future services -- even mixing, audio, video and data transparently. Furthermore, they will be able to take advantage of a whole range of CyberStream options to provide their customers with the modern and innovative services that they need." In the future, Antenna Hungaria will be able offer new services as CyberStream supports added-value applications including distance learning, MPEG-2 streaming and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
