Marketwired
RocketStream, Inc., a subsidiary of Voyant International
Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT) and a developer of technologies and
solutions to accelerate digital content delivery over
high-bandwidth IP networks, continues to bolster the broadcasting
industry with its revolutionary high-speed data acceleration
technology. The Asia Broadcasting Television Company, Ltd. (ABtv),
a leading Thai aggregator and distributor of television content,
announced today that it has adopted the RocketStream(TM) file
transfer acceleration solution for its mission-critical
long-distance media ingestion needs.
ABtv obtains media content around the globe and distributes
these programs via satellite to cable television broadcasters
throughout Thailand. In order to aggregate this content from its
originating locations to ABtv's headquarters, the company uses
high-bandwidth Internet and private network connections. Despite
the large size of the data connections, high network latencies and
unreliable FTP connections were significantly slowing media
ingestion operations.
RocketStream is an all-software-based data transfer suite that
can accelerate file transfers up to 200 times faster than FTP in a
secure, reliable, and easy-to-use fashion. "We are now using Rocket
stream to accelerate our media delivery between ABtv in Thailand
and our partner company, Asia Broadcasting International, Inc., in
the USA," said Chirasak Sriwirom, managing director of ABtv. "We
regularly transfer 10 to 15 GB of data between these locations,
which are connected with a high bandwidth, but also high latency,
data pipe. RocketStream has simply and economically transformed an
IT headache into a streamlined and elegant solution."
William Chen, RocketStream's vice president of enterprise sales,
added, "The power and simplicity of the RocketStream solution are
well suited to media applications in the Pacific Rim, where data
transfer distances tends to be very high and media markets are
growing rapidly."
"ABtv is the leading content distributor in Thailand," explained
James Ng, managing director of Technical Media Services Pte. Ltd.,
RocketStream's distributor in Southeast Asia. "We've been gratified
to be able to assist them in their mission of providing global
television content to the Thai population in a timely and reliable
fashion by supplying ABtv with the powerful RocketStream data
transfer acceleration solution."
