Video is the next great frontier for information sharing and distribution across government agencies. Solutions ranging from monitoring aircraft sensors to citywide video monitoring are in high demand. As the volume of video traffic continues to increase exponentially, many current systems will not have the functionality or scalability to optimally address this boom.

With the acquisition of Tandberg Television, Ericsson’s award-winning advanced compression system and on-demand content distribution solution delivers the technology and expertise to address the most complex video management needs. The flexible and scalable, telecom-grade, end-to-end solution provides high-definition video capabilities via today’s broadband. In addition, it also provides several solutions for video content storage and distribution -- which includes advanced workflow management with enablers for security mechanisms such as protection of live and on-demand encryption. These video distribution and management capabilities are further enhanced by Ericsson’s scalable solution for monitoring service performance from an end-user perspective. (i.e. government or service provider)  For example, by placing monitoring probes in various parts of the network, agencies can discover the type of and probable point where errors occur to enhance the quality of service and reliability of their video distribution network, and the service can also monitor different types of transport streams, ranging from multicast streams for live TV to unicast for video-on-demand.
