Why are organisations adopting IPTV?

Most organisations already have networks covering a building or campus that are capable of supporting a video distribution system. This reduces both the initial cost of implementation and the cost of extending the IPTV network over time. Many organisations are adopting IPTV because:

• Television and video can easily be supplied to all computers on a network, increasing staff access to news and company information.
• The same infrastructure can be used no matter how many channels or viewing devices are attached to the network. No special wiring or video distribution design is required.
• Consistently high video quality is maintained regardless of the number of people using devices to view a channel.
• Costs can be reduced by converging IPTV with existing data networks to provide services over a single cable infrastructure.

Leading organisations regard live and recorded video as essential. It improves their ability to make better-informed decisions and to communicate more effectively with their internal and external stakeholders.
