This turnkey system will modernize the Banorte "BANORTV" network, migrating it from a legacy MPEG-2 business television system to state-of-the-art DVB-S2 and MPEG4-AVC technology. The migration will improve quality and reduce operating costs while greatly increasing the network's flexibility and capacity to deliver content to everything from television monitors and kiosks to back-office computer desktops. The network will be powered by IDC's SuperFlex broadband satellite IP multicasting technology and Datacast XD, IDC's flagship content management and distribution software. The system configuration for Banorte features streaming video and audio along with "store & forward" functionality so programming can be delivered both live (real-time) and in the form of files (non-real-time) for playback on demand and/or via a playlist. While the value of the order was not disclosed for competitive reasons, the initial rollout to more than 300 sites represents the first phase of the project which is expected to expand further this year. Grupo Etercom, IDC's longtime value-added partner in Mexico, will be responsible for upgrading the network's RF infrastructure, as well as the nationwide deployment of the receive sites and ongoing service as BANORTV expands and grows.
