WASHINGTON, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ST Engineering iDirect announced today that
its SKYflow ecosystem solution is a winner under the Hardware
Infrastructure category in the 2024 NAB Show Product of the Year
Awards. This awards program recognizes some of the most significant
and promising new products and technologies showcased by exhibitors
at the NAB Show.
"To have our SKYflow ecosystem solution
recognized at such an illustrious media and broadcast event is an
honor," said Emma Park, Senior Vice
President of Market and Growth Strategy at ST Engineering
iDirect
SKYflow is a collaboration between ST Engineering iDirect and
its partners, EKT, EasyBroadcast, and Quadrille. It is a DVB native
IP over satellite ecosystem that offers cost-effective, ultra-fast,
low-latency delivery of live and on-demand video to mobile devices
and large screens alike for global audiences.
Currently deployed in Peru - a
country where as recently as 2020, just 60 percent of its 30
million citizens were connected to the internet - the SKYflow
ecosystem has enabled 100 percent of the Peruvian population,
particularly those in remote regions, to receive DTH
(direct-to-home) content and have access to live TV that can be
recorded.
"Following the recent deployment of the SKYflow ecosystem, we
have already seen the significant impact our technology is having
on the people living in Peru,
giving them all-important access to media, educational resources
and vital telemedicine services. To have our SKYflow ecosystem
solution recognized at such an illustrious media and broadcast
event is an honor," said Emma Park,
Senior Vice President of Market and Growth Strategy at ST
Engineering iDirect.
"NAB Show is the ultimate marketplace showcasing the latest
trends and technology, spanning creation, distribution and
monetization in the broadcast, media and entertainment industry.
Congratulations to ST Engineering iDirect for winning the
prestigious 2024 NAB Show Product of the Year Award, a testament to
the groundbreaking innovation embodied by the SKYflow ecosystem.
Its profound impact on the content lifecycle underscores its
pivotal role in empowering storytellers to navigate present
challenges and embrace the opportunities of tomorrow," said Senior
Vice President and Chief Customer Success Officer, Eric Trabb, NAB Global Connections and
Events.
NAB Show Product of the Year Award winners were selected by a
panel of industry experts in 15 categories and announced at a live
