Venus Telephone Corporation, an independent operator serving rural Pennsylvania, selected Optibase's TV streaming platform to deliver over 130 live TV and music channels over telephone lines to its subscribers over ADSL. Located in the digital head-end, a single Optibase MGW 5100 unit can transmit up to 64 video channels received from various live or pre-encoded sources. The TV content is encoded in low bitrate MPEG-2 format. The platform is designed to support MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and Windows Media video formats. Venus Telephone is using Next Level's ADSL platform.
