Synamedia’s Media Edge Gateway is a software-based integrated receiver/decoder (IRD) that opens new routes to monetization, software-as-a-service (SaaS) based business models, hybrid deployments and much more. At the heart of the company’s video network portfolio and based on Synamedia’s virtualized Digital Content Manager (DCM), the Media Edge Gateway takes the video network capabilities a step further and is ideal for video service providers that are deploying in hybrid environments, looking to test out new channels or launching point-in-time updates such as for natural disasters and events.
Judge’s Comment: “Cloud-ready IRD offers some flexibility over appliance-based solutions.”
