Systek Internet Multicast is an IP multicast-based service enabling a single stream of content to be broadcast simultaneously to thousands of recipients.

Using traditional "unicast" technology, streaming content over the Internet can be subject to bandwidth limitations, since streamed content is sent separately to each end user. In this scenario, the streams consume valuable IP bandwidth - and scalability quickly becomes an issue.

Systek's Internet Multicast allows a content originator to upload a single stream of data onto the Internet backbone, where it is replicated as necessary to quickly and more seamlessly reach available end users. With this strategy, even if the number of simultaneous users varies between 100 or 1000, or more, the original amount of bandwidth remains constant.

• Customer can deliver content to large audiences
• The subscriber base has the ability to grow indefinitely
• Sourcing requirements of hardware, bandwidth and costs remain stable.
• Increased online reach, without additional overhead expense
