SmartNode
The SmartNode VoIP routers developed by Patton Electronics Company will now be able to offer triple play services by means of IGMP and IP-multicast in SmartWare release 3.20. Operators offering several services can make use of the new SmartWare to incorporate triple-play services to their existing offerings without making any further investments in the Patton customer-premise equipment.
The new SmartWare can be downloaded to the CPEs and will enable carrier-providers to deliver packet-based video-on-demand, IPTV, etc to a set-top box like the Aminet 110. SmartWare also reduces network congestion that operators face with unicast Video-over-IP. A single stream of video packets is transmitted to the hosts that request it, thereby eliminating duplication. tmcnet.com reports:
Because SmartNode offers converged-network solutions for both POTS and ISDN telephony, IGMP multicast in SmartWare makes SmartNode the first and only line of triple-play CPEs for the world's ISDN carriers and networks.
