In the hospitality industry, when guests watch popular content, particularly live sports, it can have an enormous impact on the venue’s connectivity service. In poorly connected areas, latency issues, limited bandwidth and lack of affordable data packages are part of the challenge for broadcasters and media providers delivering quality video content to audiences on any device.  Today, new content delivery solutions based on the #DVB-Native IP standard, are combining satellite in the delivery mix, to enable hotels in poorly connected areas to receive OTT content without relying on the internet. At #IBC2024, Eutelsat Group, will have a live demo in partnership with leading media and entertainment company Sky Italia, part of Sky, and technology partners Broadpeak and EKT - your STB partner, showing how hotels and bars can offer their clients broadcast quality content, available through streaming, while avoiding local network limitations that can affect live content delivery.  If you’re attending IBC - International Broadcasting Convention, check out the demo on the Eutelsat stand, Hall1 - 1.C41 – or find out more below. https://lnkd.in/enGz3ynm
