Elevate's cloud-based approach enables HBC to scale our video services quickly and cost-effectively, said Jim Kronebusch, Chief Technical Officer, Hiawatha Broadband Communications. We believe Espial Elevate will bring both speed and competitive advantage to HBC's video offering going forward.
Our field trial of Elevate has been a success, and we are eager to begin our large-scale deployment shortly, said Ted Book, Director of Cable & Communications, Easton Utilities. Espial Elevate will provide Easton subscribers with a top-tier user experience that is essential in today's competitive video arena.
