Clint Chao, Cube's ex- VP of Marketing is back in action at SkyStream........ SkyStream Expands Presence in Asia with Ideal Systems; Leading Asian Distributor and Systems Integrator Signs to Sell SkyStream's Broadcast and Internet Networking Products MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 1998--In an effort to further expand its presence worldwide, SkyStream today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with one of Asia's largest distributors, Ideal Systems, with offices in Taipei, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Ideal Systems will sell Skystream's Integrator series of video and data networking products into Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, China, and other Southeast Asian countries. "We are excited to add SkyStream to our suite of complementary broadcasting companies, which also includes SeaChange, Hewlett-Packard and Thomson Broadcast," said Jim Butler, managing director of Ideal Systems. "With SkyStream's open broadcast networking products and vision, we believe we can capitalize on the rapidly-changing digital broadcast environment that is occurring in Asia, particularly in satellite communications." "We are happy to see that Ideal Systems has such a solid market presence in Asia," said Clint Chao, vice president of marketing and sales for SkyStream. "The Internet and satellite businesses are growing in Asia, where many of the broadcasters are looking for ways to create new revenue opportunities such as data broadcasting and conditional access insertion. Ideal Systems has a great line card to complement our Integrator family of data and video encapsulators." SkyStream's family of Integrator products include the DBN-24 DVB data encapsulator and the DBN-25 DVB data injector. These products allow satellite service providers to create complete data broadcasting systems using an open network architecture. The DBN-25 utilizes SkyStream's patent-pending Null Packet Optimizer(TM)(NPO) software, which allows broadcasters to inject Internet and IP data into the empty space of an incoming MPEG video bitstream. The bandwidth saved using this technology can range from 5-8 percent of a satellite's transponder bandwidth. With full multi-protocol encapsulation (MPE) software to create industry-compatible streams of data, any DVB-compliant set-top receiver or PCI card can receive satellite content created by these products. Both the DBN-24 and the DBN-25 are available today. More.......... newsalert.com
