We are confident that CableVision will be able to offer a brand new content delivery and viewing experience to subscribers said Bassam Jaber, Chairman and General Manager at CableVision.

The IPTV platform is integrated by Meatel and enabled by tucanoRED service delivery platform from Alpha Networks, Amino's high-performance Aria6 hybrid HEVC client device, Broadpeak's nanoCDN for multicast ABR streaming and Viaccess' Connected Sentinel security suite along with the Viaccess multi-platform secured media player for content delivery to multiscreen devices.
