XpressVu™ CACHING SERVER

The XpressVu™ Caching Receiver is an ideal store and forward
DVB-S2 dual tuner caching receiver. Available as a clean, easy to install network appliance. Configurable with up to 2TB of storage, the XpressVu provides media-rich broadband IP data at speeds up to 80Mbps to the desktop, the Enterprise LAN or the Service Provider’s head-end. The XpressVu is a dual tuner receiver that can be used to look at two different transponders simultaneously, or can be used as a fully redundant receiver acting as a primary with on-line backup capabilities. The XpressVu is part of Cerona’s Sky Digital family, the most comprehensive end-to-end DVB-S/S2 broadband IP solution available.

The XpressVu works with any DVB IP Encapsulator, including Cerona’s own Digital Gateway Router. The XpressVu receives and decodes a multiplexed DVB broadcast transport stream comprised of MPE (Multi-Protocol Encapsulation) IP data and delivers it via a high-speed Ethernet connection to the desktop.

Whether “turbo charging” an existing VSAT network or eliminating Internet bottlenecks, the XpressVu is ideally suited to applications such as:

  • . Streaming audio and video
  • . Retail Kiosks
  • . Distance Learning
  • . Web caching
  • . Digital Signage
  • . IPTV
  • . High-speed Internet delivery
  • . Content Distribution
  • . Corporate LAN/WAN interconnection
  • . IP Multicasting

The XpressVu is based on Cerona’s DVB-S2 broadband router module architecture, which offers up to 80Mbps in a fully routed implementation, and is backward compatible with existing
DVB-S networks, a tremendous cost saver during network upgrades to DVB-S2.

WEB MANAGABLE

One of the hallmarks of Cerona’s products is the ease in which
network administrators can manage and configure the systems.
SNMP manageable, the XpressVu also provides a Web Daemon for easy Internet Web browser-based network management.

The XpressVu is truly a high-performance Enterprise router.
As such, it supports Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) as well as IP multicast group subscription services through
Internet Gateway Messaging Protocol (IGMP) support.
