LIME to Stream Video
Landline, Internet, Mobile, Entertainment (LIME) which delivers Internet and mobile services in 14 Caribbean countries, will enter the video market initially in Jamaica and Barbados by mid-October or early November, and introduce the service in its other properties sometime in 2012.
The company, will deploy AnyView, a new IP-based video distribution platform from Avail-TVN that uses adaptive bit rate techniques to pipe services to IP-connected set-tops, tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices.
LIME is expected to let subscribers access live and on-demand video services outside the home on its wireless network sometime next year as it adds support to a range of mobile devices. AnyView already supports PCs, Macs, iOS and Android devices, Roku Inc. boxes, and some connected TV models made by LG Electronics Inc. and Samsung Corp.
LIME is the first service provider to deploy AnyView and use Avail-TVN’s adaptive bit rate system not just for on-demand content but live TV feeds too.
