ViewCast Selects Rahul Commerce as Master Distributor Throughout India
PLANO, Texas, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Positions ViewCast for Growth in Rapidly Developing Streaming Video Market
ViewCast Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VCST), a developer of industry-leading
solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over IP and
mobile networks, today announced that it has expanded its business relationship with
Rahul Commerce, a leading distributor of multimedia technology in India. Previously a
ViewCast reseller, Rahul Commerce has been designated a master distributor of ViewCast
solutions, servicing India via offices in Mumbai and Pune and further extending
ViewCast's presence among Indian technology dealers, system integrators and broadcasting
outlets.
"The new designation gives Rahul Commerce the opportunity to leverage its industry
expertise and rich experience with ViewCast's streaming media product portfolio in
India, a country emerging as a significant market for streaming video in public and
private enterprises," said ViewCast Senior Vice President of Sales Gary J. Klembara.
"India's rapidly developing Internet infrastructure represents a tremendous
opportunity for its public institutions and private enterprises to leverage web
streaming, video conferencing, IPTV and other rich media technologies to reach a larger
audience within the country and around the world," Klembara said. "Our alliance with
Rahul Commerce promises to put ViewCast at the forefront of this technology movement,
and positions us for accelerated business growth in the Indian market."
The market for streaming media technology in India has been driven in large part by
the expansion of tele-education and tele-medicine programs across the government and
education sectors. Broadcasting companies are proliferating in parallel, and are
exploring Internet programming opportunities to extend the reach and revenue potential
of the country's 500+ television channels. With the roll-out of 3G and WiMax wireless
communication services fueling the adoption of mobile streaming technology, and rising
consumer demand for high definition (HD) programming, the market for ViewCast's analog
and HD streaming media product portfolio in India is primed for extraordinary growth.
"ViewCast's Osprey video capture cards and Niagara streaming media encoders have
been integral to Rahul Commerce's success in the streaming media technology market,
enabling us to provide our clients with reliable, high-performance streaming media
platforms, backed by ViewCast's reputation for quality service and support," said Dhiren
Shah, director, Rahul Commerce in Pune. "Working together with ViewCast in our elevated
role as master distributor, we can capitalize on India's rapidly growing demand for
Internet streaming technology and services, as well as its nascent demand for mobile
streaming capabilities and HD programming."
Rahul's capabilities in India are exemplified by the company's work with the Indian
Space Research Organization (ISRO), which has implemented ViewCast's Osprey 230 analog
video capture cards in schools and hospitals in remote locations around the country to
help facilitate the organization's expansive distance learning and tele-medicine
programs. Utilizing its EDUSAT satellite system to aggregate and disseminate interactive
programming from/to geographically dispersed educational and healthcare facilities, the
ISRO
counts on Osprey 230 cards to enable reliable, high-performance streaming of live and
on-demand video content across a large network of facilities.
ViewCast Osprey video capture cards and Niagara streaming media encoders are
designed to deliver the quality, features and ease-of-use that professional broadcasters
demand. They are pre-configured, plug-and-play solutions that enable users to quickly
capture and broadcast premium quality audio and video in multiple formats and at
