Inetcable.com Places Initial Order With USA Video Interactive For North America Deployment
Wednesday, 13 September 2000
SEPTEMBER 13, 2000 - MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT -- Inetcable.com (www.inetcable.com) has placed the first in a series of orders with USA Video Interactive (OTCBB: USVO; CDNX: US; www.usvo.com) for the North American deployment of its video application service. The North American deployment is the first step by Inetcable.com in an aggressive worldwide plan that includes at least 4,500 satellite downlink units and 100 satellite uplink units over the next three years. This initial order is for eight encoding suites equipped with 1-gigahertz processors and for upgrades of ten previously supplied encoders. The order is worth approximately half a million dollars.

In recent testing, USA Video Interactive and Inetcable.com engineers achieved broadcast-quality results at the 200k level (DSL and cable modems) and 1MB level (high speed DSL), and very high quality, 30 frames per second video at the 56k level (home modems). "In this joint venture with USA Video Interactive, we believe we are the first in the world to achieve such high frame rates over the Internet," said Ted Boyle, President of Inetcable.com. "Now we need to speed up our schedule for deployment to bring this product to a ready and anxiously-waiting market."

"The technical results are especially significant because we are getting good-quality, full-motion video at 56k - the best I've seen. This is very good news indeed to the more than 100 million people in North America with 56k dial-up modems," said Boyle. "But at the 200k and 1 Meg levels, the quality is absolutely astounding, like cable TV through the Internet and improving all the time."

"With a worldwide market in excess of 200 million, and with Inetcable.com's worldwide satellite distribution capabilities, we are embarking on a landmark project of almost limitless proportions," said Boyle. "The faster we can deploy our systems, the better. We are first to market with this innovative system, and there is strong demand for it from ISPs and search engines."

"This is further confirmation that true convergence of Internet and broadcast TV is here today and we have the technology and the technical experts to bring it to reality now," said Edwin Molina, President and CEO of USA Video Interactive. The companies have a technology partnership for design and delivery of streaming broadcast video and live TV via the Internet. USA Video Interactive and Inetcable.com have designed a system that incorporates multicast video encoding, archiving and delivery as well as unicast video-on-demand utilizing USA Video Interactive technology and equipment via Inetcable.com's satellite network platform to Internet Service Providers and other users around the world.

The systems are based on a system demonstrated earlier this year at the North American Broadcaster's Association annual meeting in Florida. The concept behind the system is to avoid latency and other problems inherent in the Internet network itself by bypassing the "backbone" and delivering signals directly to ISPs. Live TV broadcast signals are routed to USA Video Interactive's WebcasterLive™ encoding engines where they are compressed using the latest state-of-the-art technologies, coupled with Inetcable.com's broadband viewer and caching software, then routed through USA Video Interactive Hurricane Mediacaster™ video servers to be broadcast via Inetcable's satellite distribution system.
