Linköping, Sweden – January, 2025 – A content streaming solution that utilises the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol is changing the way endpoints (e.g. hotels, ships, schools, military bases etc.) receive and deliver high-quality entertainment and information to their frequenters. This system enables secure and efficient distribution of content over internet and minimises infrastructure costs, while prioritising performance and flexibility for the endpoint.

Setting up an end-to-end solution integrates seamlessly with a variety of content sources, including satellite, terrestrial, cable, IP or baseband inputs (such as HDMI, analogue AV or HDSDI). The content is distributed using an encrypted SRT link per connection.

Navigating the changing industry: WISI offers a reliable alternative

From January 2025, Boxer’s pay-TV channels will no longer be broadcasted terrestrially in Sweden, which is a significant change for viewers who rely on traditional TV antennas. While free-to-air TV channels distributed by Teracom will continue to be accessible without a subscription, many hospitality providers will face disruption to their services. WISI’s streaming solution ensures uninterrupted access to premium channels and customised content packages, supporting hotels and businesses with secure, low latency internet-based content delivery.

Optimised content distribution for multiple sites

Designed for scalability, the solution supports multiplexing and allows content providers to create multiple program packages for distribution to different endpoints. Each package can be encrypted and streamed over the SRT protocol, so that only a single SRT connection per endpoint is sufficient, significantly reducing bandwidth requirements while ensuring secure and reliable delivery.

Flexible application options at the Edge

User endpoints at the Edge can select between different configurations to fulfil their specific requirements. In this way, WISI closes the gap between new streaming protocols and local network requirements. You can easily configure what you need at your local endpoint.

WISI’s content distribution solution offers flexible deployment options that adapt to different Edge networks and end-user preferences. The system can offer UDP/IP streaming for internal IPTV distribution, modulated DVB-C or DVB-T output or local streaming in HLS or MPEG-DASH formats for seamless delivery to smart TVs, tablets and mobile devices. This flexibility ensures that content can be adapted for any infrastructure or service requirements.

 

Why this is important for the hospitality industry

With the growing demand for high-quality on-demand content in the hospitality industry, this SRT-based solution offers hotels a future-proof way to increase guest satisfaction while remaining cost-efficient. Robust encryption and streamlined content delivery make it a compelling choice for hotels looking to deliver a premium digital experience. WISI’s product solutions ensure that access to premium content is maintained regardless of the constant changes in the industry.
