udcast's solutions are designed to enable broadcasters, mobile operators and service providers to fully leverage their infrastructure and meet customer needs, through the delivery of revenue generating added value services in the area of Mobile Tv.
capitalizing on udcast's core technology, udcast provides dvb-H, dvb-SH and dvb-T standard compliant solutions for the delivery of Tv content to mobile devices. udcast provides the industry's first ever and the most advanced dvb-H compliant iP encapsulator and the iPe Manager - a central Mobile Tv network administration system.
udcast also offers dvb-H/dvb-T Monitoring equipment and Analyzers, enabling management of large Mobile Tv networks, and Flexible distribution systems for digital television deployments. based on the iSplicer equipment, the flexible distribution makes use of cost efficient Satellite and iP distribution networks to deliver the high value content, local channels and targeted advertising into the precisely defined geographic areas.
Founded in 2000, udcast maintains its global headquarters in Sophia-Antipolis, France with offices, sales representatives and partners around the world.
Mobile Tv demonstrates to be one of the fastest growing new applications for mobile network operators. However the delivery of the world's number one mass entertainment medium to the mobile device poses numerous problems. Mobile networks, both traditional as GPRS and 3G, as well as newly developed such as 3.5G or WiMAX have been
built for one to one services and as such are incapable to scale to enable the delivery of content to a mass audience. For Mobile Tv to be a reality, operators must turn towards proven broadcast networks which have been specifically designed to deliver mass content.

The use of broadcast infrastructure to complement mobile networks will enable a new range of revenue generating services for mobile operators including Tv. Furthermore the use of these existing broadcast networks ensures that investment remains limited and roll out is accelerated.
udcast is heavily involved in this market, notably through close partnerships with the key telecommunication and
broadcasting industry players, iPdc/bMco forum, dvb Forum, WiMAX forum and eTSi, looking at the utilisation of broadcast networks for the delivery of content to mobile handheld devices. To address a number of issues related to the use of broadcast networks, such as handheld power consumption, mobile and indoor reception, the dvb-H standard has been developed and is now helping to drive iPTv to the mobile developments.

dvb-H / dvb-SH iP encapsulator iPe-10The centerpiece in the end-to-end solution for the datacasting of Tv over dvb-H and dvb-SH networks and present in great majority of current dvb-H and dvb-SH trials and deployments, udcast's dvb-H and dvb-SH standard compliant iPe enables the encapsulation of video and audio sources and their multicasting over the broadcast network to handheld devices. The iPe is the interface between the broadcast iP source and the network distributing the content.
