Nigeria Pay TV, StarTimes has declared that its new brand, StarTimes ON which was launched in November this year can save 20- 40% data cost for users.
According to Ariel Lin, the Operation Director of Startimes ON, “The data saving is realized with adopting our self-developed and world’s leading video encoding technology,”
Lin said the encoding technology will increase the data compression ratio greatly, but meanwhile won’t damage the video quality.
Adding that besides the advanced encoding technology, StarTimes satellite transmitting system will also help reduce internet bandwidth cost of StarTimes ON CDNs.
“That’s a natural advantage of StarTimes as a leading digital TV operator…and yes, we have satellites in the space,” Lin explained.
“In further, StarTimes ON is also cooperating with over 20 African telecom operators and has co-established CDNs in different African countries.
“The integrated CDNs with telecom networks lower huge internet bandwidth fees for StarTimes ON and telecom companies, being able to provide high quality video data bundle products for users at affordable prices. And the high-efficient and stable CDNs also require less space, less power consumption and less maintaining costs.”
The StarTimes ON Operation Director added: “StarTimes ON utilizes video cloud platform based on hybrid networks to provide stable video streaming service to users. The hybrid Cloud network guarantees the full internet coverage, flexible expansion and quick start of StarTimes ON service.”
