"Bandwidth in communications is like closet space in your home—you can never have enough. Internet traffic is making the demand for communication capacity grow faster than the wardrobe of a teenager with a no-limit credit card... Data, video and voice signals crowd transmission systems... the communications industry needs to breathe." —Jeff Hecht, Technology Review, March/April 1999

ePowered™ Media Cast
If you're transmitting rich media over the public Internet, you already know that poor sound quality, small viewing windows and considerable delay between video frames are limitations encountered on a daily basis. Today's powerful desktop computers and higher-speed Internet access connections don't really help much either. It's because the core problem lies within the inherently oversubscribed Internet backbones. The routes over which streaming media currently travel are just too congested.

Now, thanks to ePowered Media Cast — a new application service from Enron Broadband Services — you can punch through the performance limitations of the public Internet. Our ePowered Media Cast, running on the Enron Intelligent Network (EIN), provides a broadband overlay to the public Internet, and removes congestion and other performance barriers.

ePowered Media Cast and the EIN offer a superior approach to delivering streaming multimedia content. This powerful combination of bandwidth and services lets you showcase your live and on-demand multimedia assets the way you'd like them to be seen. Now, you can deliver a rich viewing and listening experience to your Internet audience at a quality level much higher than that offered through today's conventional Internet delivery infrastructure.

How ePowered Media Cast Works
ePowered Media Cast is a highly scalable and robust application platform. It delivers live broadband streaming video and audio, and on-demand programming to large simultaneous audiences. Built from the ground up with quality-of-service and ease-of-use in mind, our ePowered Media Cast service is designed for progressive content providers and developers who want to distribute their multimedia assets over the net, with a lot more punch.

By design, the ePowered Media Cast service bypasses today's costly, unreliable public networks and congested Internet to deliver content intelligently to end users. It all happens over the Enron Intelligent Network with content arriving at the point-of-presence nearest the end user's local service provider. This way, customers get a richer viewing and listening experience since the Internet's inherent overhead is removed. This way, you and the local service provider can retain customers through better and much higher quality product and service offerings. Best of all, it all happens transparently. Users need no special hardware or software. There are no new paradigms to learn, and no additional training or special configurations are required. They'll just see your content with rock solid performance.

So get ePowered Media Cast. You'll see and hear the difference.
