ASBU launches IPTV service to reach Arab viewers worldwide
Tunis, November 1, 2011 –  The Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) has just launched a new service to the benefit of its member radio and TV corporations. Broadcasting Arab radio and TV programs through the Internet protocol (IPTV) will be available to all Arab communities throughout the world. Several Arab corporations have already joined the new service, allowing 61241 viewers worldwide to follow their signal from August 1 to Oct. 5, 2011. The service is made available at a low cost to both broadcasters and viewers, thanks to a cooperation protocol with the Canadian company AVC, allowing to benefit from a high quality signal, which reaches a high of 1.2mbit/s and a low of 128Kbit/s. A new website (www.glarab.com) has also been launched to allow users to choose their preferred channels. It is to be noticed that ASBU also provides a similar service, known as the Arab Unified Bouquet. ASBU has started, in coordination with ARABSAT, a package of Arab channels operating on the satellites most commonly used by Arab communities in all parts of the world. The unified Arab bouquet includes now nineteen Arab satellite channels, while the number of those joining the new service (IPTV) stands now at 16, including 8 from Saudi Arabia, 3 from Kuwait, 2 from Syria, 2 from Sudan and Lebanese private channel (Al-Manar TV). ASBU is urging all its member corporations to join the new service for more efficiency. | |
