Accelerating end-to-end delivery
of multiscreen TV

S3 Group accelerates end-to-end delivery of multiscreen TV
for digital TV programmers, operators, component vendors and managed service providers.

We reduce time-to-market and improve quality for our customers as they launch
and operate new products. We do this by providing solutions that combine system integration, test automation and advanced platform diagnostics, end-to-end across the content delivery chain.

    60-fold increase in platform complexity

    How can we help?

    The roll-out of multiscreen services require much more complex content delivery platform topologies to be developed, tested, deployed, operated and renewed over time. 

    Compared to back in the year 2000, when a typical operator who was offering VOD in addition to linear TV, the same operator is now rolling out the full gamut of multiscreen experience, which implies, according to our research a 60-fold increase in platform complexity! This increased complexity results in a breadth of business and technical challenges arising throughout the entire platform lifecycle and the corresponding activities.

     

    The Lifecycle Activities and Challenges

    We take a full lifecycle view from Requirements through Operations and ultimately to Reuse. This end-to-end scope across the content delivery chain – from head-end through to receivers -- intersects with our end-to-end view across the platform lifecycle.

    Requirements
    One of the largest causes of cost and time over-runs in product delivery is unforeseen requirements that emerge during project execution.

    Architecture
    The architectures underpinning next generation networks will be significantly different as IP-delivery, multiscreen environments and a host of other factors have significantly changed the rules.

    Development
    Whatever the device, whatever the network and wherever the viewing experience takes place, reliability cannot be compromised.

    Integration
    The development and deployment of new platforms involves the interaction of multiple hardware and software development teams. All of these are essential to the overall success of the program.

    Test
    Testing is a key part of delivering high quality products on time to the market.

    Deployment
    Quick deployment of impeccable products is a must-have for operators.

    Operation
    Once launched, a content delivery platform requires on-going improvement over time.

    Reuse
    The costs incurred in reverse logistics are highly significant at screening, repair & refurbish or end-of-life stages.
