Continuous Video Delivery with Adaptive Bit-Rate Streaming
The Kamai 500 series is ideal if you want to offer video but have a geographically diverse broadband footprint with a range of network infrastructure capabilities. By leveraging the advantages of Adaptive Bit-Rate (ABR) streaming technology, Kamai 500 can reliably deliver HD video
across the Internet and over last mile networks of varying quality and bandwidth. ABR streaming encodes content at various bitrates and resolutions, and then dynamically selects the best quality stream that can be delivered over the current network conditions.

Now, you can deliver video to all of your broadband subscribers, not just customers with fiber (FTTH) or other high-speed connections.
