LMT, the leading mobile telecommunications operator in Latvia and the first in the world who has introduced Smart TV delivery over a mobile network, has deployed Harmonic’s EyeQ™ content-aware video encoding solution for its live OTT service, delivered to TVs with 4G set-top boxes. Using Harmonic’s award-winning EyeQ technology, LMT delivers a consistent, superior video experience for live channels to TVs with up to 40% reduction of bandwidth and without having to perform a massive mobile network infrastructure upgrade. Hannu Pro, the leading systems integrator in the region and Harmonic’s reseller, ensured a smooth deployment of Harmonic’s EyeQ Technology.
“Live events, which can incur a significant peak in viewers especially for TV applications, put considerable stress on our mobile network,” said Edgars Gončars, the Head of TV of Business Management Department at LMT. “Harmonic’s EyeQ solution allows us to offer the best video experience to subscribers while reducing the amount of bandwidth we need and lowering our delivery costs, while increasing the quality of experience. With EyeQ, we have the ability to scale up during popular live events and deliver pristine video quality, which is a critical factor for our continued business growth”.
