Full, interactive demonstrations will be taking place throughout the conference, and NTL Broadcast's Business Development Manager, Tony Orwin, commented: "We are delighted to be playing such a key role in this year's News World; our speaker support package provides the all-in-one solution necessary for conference needs.

Tony Orwin, sector manager for business and event television at NTL Broadcast, said: "This new streaming facility is an important addition to our end-to-end services.

This will be added to its existing facility just ten miles away in Crawley Court , where a total of 30 antennas up to 13 meters are already in place , according to Tony Orwin , sales manager of business and events TV at NTL.

Orwin reports that NTL was erecting a new dish every six to eight weeks to keep pace with demand last year , and that the B2B and BTV sectors are solid contributors to this positive trend at NTL.

Dish density has been a hot topic here for months.We were even compelled to dig up one of our parking lots in order to accommodate a dish , and it did not stop there , Orwin says.

It has been two years since NTL purchased Uplynx in order to form the nucleus of its SNG unit , which is now doing remarkably well , says Orwin.And the ad hoc or occasional use group has grown from 20 employees to 120 employees in the same span of time..

Orwin reports that with IP on fire all across Europe , NTL is out front in terms of IP research and development , and that NTL will commence streaming services soon.

There are lots of companies providing streaming services , but NTL has the advantage of simultaneous connectivity to fiber and satellite , so that full bandwidth signals as DVB/MPEG 2 can be delivered directly to the streaming processors , Orwin says.

Approximately 70 percent of NTL's trans-Atlantic traffic is now flowing over the AC-1 fiber , a 50/50 joint venture with Williams Vyvx , according to Orwin.
...
We also tap off-site production houses frequently enough to get a compelling rate , Orwin says.What this does is save our clients from the multiple mark-ups and logistical headaches-the hassles-which arise when a job is outsourced.

We are distilling our clients' aspirations down into a limited number of generic products , while taking the necessary steps to avoid duplication internally , Orwin adds.Both fiber and satellite are growing off each other.And fiber is not everywhere..

Merlin Communications International Ltd. is preparing to add a number of new antennas to its uplink facility in Fareham.Its biggest customer is the BBC , whose extensive radio signal distribution requirements are met by Merlin in the form of an MPEG 2 based audio service spread over partial transponders on five satellites.

Tony Orwin, sector manager for business and event television at NTL Broadcast, said: "This new streaming facility is an important addition to our end-to-end services.It means that our customers can make full use of the Internet as a method of distribution, an option that will soon become extremely powerful as broadband connections flourish."

Tony Orwin, ntl Broadcast's sector manager for business and event television, said: "The Science Year event was a very interesting and enjoyable commission for us because it was a sizeable project with some interesting challenges.It was also a fitting event at which to fully launch our streaming service. ntl is obviously not the first company to offer a streaming solution, and has itself worked with such specialist companies in the past.However, we are uniquely placed to provide the complete service due to our existing infrastructure and the robustness of our operations, and I think the Science Year event bore this out."
