 The Spirited Emergence of IPTV and OTT
Streaming Technologies

It would not be wrong to say that the news and

entertainment industry was not prepared for the
emergence of the new streaming systems and
technologies. The traditional broadcast media
controlled by major news and entertainment
networks were doing fine while using the
relatively modern communication satellites and
cables to broadcast their produced and curated
content to home, offices, and institutions. They
were not prepared for the exponential
improvement in digital telecommunication
technology and subsequent improvement in smart
streaming hardware or devices.
The technological development in the Fourth –
Generation(4G) Telecommunication networks which
linked both to local cellular
networks and high-speed broadband cables to reach
their customers. It did not
take long for the industry to adopt the new internet
technology and use
Internet Protocol (IP) to stream high-quality audio,
video, data, and other
services along with providing voice calling support.
 Introduction to IPTV
Systems
IPTV or Internet Protocol Television emerged as a modern digital media
technology system that integrated communications, audio-visual, and
multimedia technologies and used the internet and high-speed broadband
networks as the channel to provide consumers with a wide range of quality
interactive services like digital streaming of news, entertainment, and even
games. The technology integrated many all the essential services providing
one platform for all communications and entertainment needs. The IPTV
system provided a range of services and applications, like:
 Access to News and Entertainment Services: Now customers could use a
smart set-top box to access all the news and entertainment content provided
by creators and producers through their internet service connection. It gave
the power to the customer to demand their preferred content rather than
subscribing to content traditionally provided by major broadcast networks.
The only investment needed by the user or subscriber was investing in
high-definition smart digital devices. They were not limited to consume
their news, entertainment, and gaming content on a television set but could
stream their preferred media content on a smart mobile device, tablet,
Personal Computer, or laptop.
Live Streaming Access: With the IPTV system, consumers
were not only able to access produced and recorded news and entertainment
content but also could access live streaming events. They did not have to
subscribe to broadcast networks or depend on cable TV services to be able to
watch live news, entertainment, or sporting events. The viewers had the option
to select different or multicast channels to get their preferred media content.
The IPTV system design allowed for on-demand video and other content. The
content providers just have to store their content on the cloud or their
central media server. Larger institutions like the hospitality and medical
services did not have to invest in cable TV infrastructure but could provide
all news and entertainment content over an internet or broadband network. It
has now common to see Hotel IPTV and Hospital IPTV systems installed in these
larger institutions.
