New MediaScale^™MicroCache delivers video at the far edge for remote locations, such as multi-dwelling units (MDUs)
Compact and front-cabled for deployment flexibility, ruggedized and temperature-tolerant
Reclaim bandwidth from video services and improve subscriber quality of experience

Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced the new MediaScale^™ MicroCache that enables video delivery at the far edge for multi-dwelling units (MDUs), improving overall quality of experience for the subscriber and reclaiming bandwidth for broadband services.

The latest addition to Vecima’s Cache portfolio is compact and ruggedized, temperature-tolerant to 55 degrees Celsius, and features front- or back-cabling options for deployment flexibility in tight wiring closets with front-only access. The MediaScale MicroCache uses the same highly flexible, next-generation software for live, time shifted linear, cloud DVR, and video on demand (VOD) adaptive bitrate (ABR) IPTV streaming as other products in the portfolio. Its architecture is designed to allow multiple tiers of caching to optimize network efficiency, optimize start times and improve overall quality of experience for the subscriber.

Vecima’s recently announced Community Cache solution allows operators to increase bandwidth available for data services, deploy the latest IPTV user interfaces, and support legacy video delivery. Locally deployed MediaScale MicroCaches aggregate traffic for video served to the community, freeing up valuable network capacity for high-speed broadband, resulting in lower latency, higher quality video. Vecima’s industry-leading commercial and hospitality video products, Terrace IQ, and Terrace TC600E, connect to the MicroCache to locally generate a QAM and analog lineup for existing coax networks.

The latest iteration of Vecima’s Cache software complies with the Streaming Video Alliance Open Caching standard to enable caching of video for an operator’s own video service in addition to caching video from over-the-top applications.
