Dow Jones Modernizes with Hybrid IPTV and QAM RF Solution
Challenge
In the fast-paced world of financial news, analysts need instant access to data from any location. As IPTV gained ground, Dow Jones, a leading global provider of financial news and data, knew it needed to modernize its onsite media delivery. To keep pace with evolving technology trends and enhance the end-user experience, the company wanted to implement a hybrid approach by integrating an IPTV solution alongside its existing QAM RF cable infrastructure.
Solution
Based on our 50+ years of industry experience, Dow Jones trusted Toner Cable to deliver a sophisticated technical solution. As a distributor for many leading manufacturers, we worked closely with our partners at Blonder Tongue, Sencore and Olson Technologies to select the best equipment and ensure it all worked together seamlessly. Our engineering team also provided onsite support throughout the installation and commissioning process.
Featured equipment:
- Blonder Tongue NXG System: Ingests cable provider feed and local sources to provide IP and QAM outputs in MPEG-2.
- Sencore Omnihub-X200: Transcodes IP from MPEG-2 to H.264 for IP distribution. H.264 (MPEG-4) cuts bandwidth usage in half.
- Olson Technologies: OTOT-1220E fiber receivers and OTPN-2200C fiber receivers for reliable fiber distribution.
- Toner Cable Total Taps: RF distribution to end points.
Result
Following a successful installation, Dow Jones now operates a hybrid QAM and IPTV environment distributing content from cable providers and local sources to endpoints throughout the facility. The upgraded IPTV infrastructure delivers high-quality signals to laptops using MPEG-4 and H.264 compression, while integrated fiber transmitters and receivers have streamlined wiring and signal management. This cutting-edge solution was delivered under budget, proving that advanced technology can also be cost-effective.Â
