Dallas, TX – October 17, 2012 – On October 9, 2012, ONE CONNXT facilitated its historic first live programming transmission between Egypt and Jordan. ONE CONNXT, a proven leader in broadcast delivery, delivered the programming without a glitch for IQRAA, a Middle Eastern channel.

ONE CONNXT, a division of ONE Media Corp Inc., is an end-to-end HD/SD content distribution service that provides high quality live and recorded video programming virtually anywhere in the world with significant savings over satellite or fiber. Via ONE CONNXT, video can be delivered either point to point or point to multipoint utilizing proprietary IP solutions. Unlike other IP solutions, ONE CONNXT has been designed as a more robust and reliable IP system that delivers results comparable to traditional broadcast methods. ONE CONNXT proprietary solutions meet or exceed broadcast standards even in regions of the world that present less than reliable Internet service such as parts of the Middle East.

According to Yanal Abbady, an engineer in Jordan Media City (JMC), “This was our first time using ONE CONNXT for a live transmission between these countries. We didn’t know what to expect. JMC engineers worked with the ONE CONNXT team, and the engineering team in Cairo, for hours before the broadcast to make sure we got the best glitch free results. I’m happy to say that we were successful.”

“ONE CONNXT gives the IQRAA team a strategic advantage in the marketplace and allows them lower delivery cost and increased distribution abilities while maintaining high quality and reliability.” said Paul Dingwitz, Chief Technology Officer ONE Media Corp, the parent company of ONE CONNXT. “It was created by broadcasters at ONE Media Corp to deliver our own programming at a reduced cost around the world. We then made the technology available to other broadcasters. As a result, we designed a system to the higher quality and reliability standards of broadcast television, rather than the lower quality IP standards. It’s IP with a twist, IP transport perfected and guaranteed to work well even when the local Internet isn’t optimum.”

Dallas, TX – August 9, 2012 
ONE CONNXT, the leader in IP-based broadcast video delivery, today announced an agreement with Lanka Vision. ONE CONNXT will be used to bring content from Sri Lanka to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Lanka Vision pioneered the introduction of Sri Lankan mainstream television via satellite in 2004. Since 2009, Lanka Vision has used satellite to telecast Sri Lanka’s top entertainment channel “TV Derana” to Australian and New Zealand viewers free of charge. TV Derana is Sri Lanka’s leading television station for reality programs, news and current affairs. ” ONE CONNXT will be replacing satellite to deliver TV Derana to Australia and New Zealand as well as adding broadcasting to North America. We are planning to expand with additional television and radio stations that will utilize ONE CONNXT technology in the near future” said Kit Karunaratne, co-founder of Lanka Vision and Managing Director of Yasiru Multimedia Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia.

Sri Lanka and the South Asian subcontinent have relied heavily on expensive satellite solutions until now. When Lanka Vision realized that it needed a more cost effective solution in its pursuit to expand overseas distribution it began to investigate broadband technology. ONE CONNXT met Lanka Vision’s criteria not only for cost, but also for its broadcast quality and reliability. It also had proven its ability to deliver high quality programming through its use in top sporting events including the Emirates Australian Open 2011 and the French Open 2012.

“TV Derana has always believed in using new technology as the way forward,” said Madhawa Madawala, Executive Director of TV Derana. ” However, we must protect our core values. We are very conscious about quality. We want to enhance our viewer’s quality of life with good interactive and entertainment programming. ONE CONNXT helps us to bring our programming to more viewers while maintaining the quality that they have come to expect from TV Derana. ”

Mark Lobwein, head of sales for ONE CONNXT stated, “With video content sometimes being difficult to move out of location in South Asia, the ONE CONNXT solution is the perfect answer for broadcasters wishing to reach the world quickly and cost effectively without sacrificing quality of service.”

Dave Almstead, CEO ONE Media Corp, the parent company of ONE CONNXT added, “ONE CONNXT is very pleased to be extending its reach to South Asia. This is a highly populated part of the world with many broadcasters and great opportunity for near term growth.”

New York and Amman, Jordan – June 26, 2012 
ONE CONNXT, the leader in video over IP delivery, has signed its first agreement in the Middle East with Arab Radio & Television (ART). The ONE CONNXT system will connect ART’s broadcast center in Jordan Media City with ART’s broadcast center in Italy. 

ART, the first Arabic pay television network in the Middle East, was founded in 1993. Today, in addition to numerous Arabic entertainment channels in the Middle East, ART also has channels spanning the globe that show first rate Arabic films and best in Arabic drama series. 

“ART chose ONE CONNXT after studying all of the alternatives and comparing ONE CONNXT’s quality, price and service with competitive delivery systems,” according to Mustafa Tell, GM of Broadcast Operations at ART. “There were only a few systems to choose from. While a couple of systems seemed less expensive, they did not offer the same quality, service and security as ONE CONNXT. When it comes to our video signal, we can’t take risks and quality comes first. That is why we chose ONE CONNXT.” 

Dave Almstead, CEO ONE Media Corp, the parent company of ONE CONNXT added, “ONE CONNXT is very happy to work with one of the pioneers in private television in the Middle East. For years ART has been the frontrunner in introducing new technologies and systems to the Middle East. ONE CONNXT is pleased to join the long list of innovative systems introduced by ART to the area. In showing that we can satisfy a demanding customer like ART, we are positive we can build a strong business both here in the Middle East and globally.”
