Babelgum Turns to CacheLogic for Web TV Streaming

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, October 30/PRNewswire/ --

- CacheLogic's Velocix Network Supports Delivery of Broadcast Quality
Streamed On-Demand TV

CacheLogic, provider of the world's leading Digital Asset Delivery
Network, today announced that the next generation global Internet TV network
Babelgum is using its Velocix network to deliver progressive video streaming
of on-demand TV content.

The Velocix Network is designed to enable content owners, movie studios,
and broadcasters to deliver video and other large digital assets over the
web, with unprecedented performance, breakthrough economics and an asset
delivery lifecycle management system that provides content owners the
control, analytics and reporting they need to manage their asset libraries
through the digital distribution chain.

Babelgum offers a global TV-on-demand service that enables consumers to
view near TV quality, full screen video from professional content owners,
covering everything from news and sport through to entertainment,
documentaries and lifestyle TV. The Velocix Digital Asset Delivery Network
allows Babelgum to provide the consistently high quality of service it is
renowned for, regardless of the country from which consumers are viewing
content. It will also provide a delivery network able to scale in line with
the current growth of the Babelgum service as its audience continues to
increase rapidly.

Says Mallku Caballero, Chief Technology Officer, Babelgum: "Cachelogic's
Velocix network is a crucial part of our delivery infrastructure, and is
fundamental to the high quality of the Babelgum service now and in the
future. We collaborated with CacheLogic to create a video delivery capability
that blends P2P traffic together with bandwidth from multiple Velocix network
caches to guarantee the level of service we need, whilst at the same time
changing the economics of video delivery."

Adds Phill Robinson, CEO, CacheLogic: "We're delighted that we're helping
a ground-breaking web broadcaster succeed with a proposition that's based on
quality as well as choice. Traditional content delivery networks weren't
built to address the demands of delivering high quality video over the
internet. CacheLogic provides a breakthrough in the performance and economics
of online rich media distribution at a time when consumer appetite for video
over the internet set to grow exponentially."
