Optibase MGW 1100
Integrated Carrier Grade IPTV Streaming Platform
Summary
The MGW1100 is an integrated carrier grade TV streaming platform. It offers a complete solution for streaming media with a single box offering live video encoding, transcoding, transrating (rate shaping) and streaming over IP or ATM networks.
The modular design of the MGW1100 allows the installation of up to six service boards at a time for media processing. Additionally an advanced and flexible SNMP based management application enables smooth integration into a centrally managed networking facility.
For TV over IP Broadcast Services
The MGW 1100 enables small-to-medium-sized TV over IP or ATM broadcast services, such as those required by Telcos and Service Providers, for applications like regional head-end or MDU (Multi Dwelling Units) TV streaming. MGW 1100 provides encoding, transcoding,transrating (rate shaping)and recasting at the edge of service providers’ TV distribution network or at MDU access points,and offers low cost real-time TV streaming services for service providers.
With its advanced video processing and streaming functionalities, the MGW 1100 can support over 100 video and audio channels concurrently. It is an ideal solution for providers who intend to stream a relatively small number of channels. Optibase’s suite of management solutions complements the MGW 1100 and offers sophisticated capabilities that allow you to control and monitor your IP/ATM video from a central SNMP-based interface.
For Surveillance and Hospitality Solutions
MGW 1100's winning combination of full service range in a single box and reliability is ideal for enterprises that want to deploy high-end video surveillance systems and hospitality solutions. MGW 1100 offers all the features of a sophisticated carrier-grade video streaming platform, in a compact easy-to-deploy rack-mount chassis - giving enterprises and organizations the best of both worlds: cost effectiveness together with top video quality, availability and flexibility.
Surveillance
For video surveillance, where reliability, availability and robustness are critical factors, MGW 1100 fits the bill by offering a unique formula of carrier grade features, small footprint, cost effectiveness and top quality video streamed in several formats.
Hospitality
For hospitality solutions, hotels, hospitals and cruise ships can take advantage of MGW 1100's live and on-demand streaming capabilities, DVD quality video and multi-channel support to set up a sleek mini-video head-end on their premises. And MGW 1100's modular and scalable design lets you take a gradual approach to setting up your streaming solution, without compromising on quality.

Chassis Description
MGW 1100 consists of a standard 4U cPSB 2.16 chassis with 8 slots at the front and rear. Each slot is individually connected by its own bus,forming a star topology, which is unique in the market.
The entire platform is based on internal IP architecture. The front slots house service boards that perform processing operations such as encoding, while the rear slots house video I/O boards. This hosting structure offers high flexibility and efficiency by allowing service providers to optimize the mix of service and I/O boards according to their solution needs.
The MGW 1100 chassis and management application offer redundancy for power supplies, fans and service boards.
Main Benefits
Carrier Grade Architecture: By supporting N + K redundancy and hot swap capabilities, MGW 1100 offers high availability, reliability and robustness.
Modularity: MGW 1100's modular design allows the installation of up to six service boards at a time, for media processing.
Full Service Range: MGW 1100 is a complete solution for streaming media, with a single box offering live video encoding, transcoding, transrating (rate shaping) and streaming over IP or ATM networks.
Central SNMP Management: An advanced and flexible SNMP based management applications enable smooth integration into a centrally managed networking facility.
Flexibility: By combining I/ O boards, service boards and network interface cards (NIC) in a single chassis, operators can optimize their range of service while minimizing risk.
Lower Operational Expenditure (OPEX): With this integrated solution you'll need fewer boxes resulting in a smaller Footprint, minimal inventory, less training and one management system.
Smooth Migration Options: A standard reliable platform facilitates smooth expansion using standard off-the-shelf hardware.
