IPTV

Internet Protocol is not only becoming the distribution conveyor for voice and data. It’s also rapidly catching on as the distribution medium for television signals.

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers television programming via a broadband connection using Internet protocols. It requires a subscription and IPTV set-top box, and offers key advantages over existing TV cable and satellite technologies. IPTV is typically bundled with other services like Video on Demand (VoD), voice over IP (VoIP) or digital phone, and Web access.

DIONOM IPTV promises more efficient streaming than present technologies, and therefore theoretically prices to operators and subscribers alike. However, it also adds many advantages that may play into market pricing.

One of the advantages of IPTV is the ability for digital video recorders (DVRs) to record multiple broadcasts at once. It will also be easier to find favorite programs by using "custom view guides." IPTV even allows for picture-in-picture viewing without the need for multiple tuners.

IPTV viewers will have full control over functionality such as rewind, fast-forward, pause, and so on. Using a cell phone or PDA, a subscriber might even utilize remote programming for IPTV.

However, the real advantage of IPTV is that it uses Internet protocols to provide two-way communication for interactive television.

DIONOM offers as well Web-service notifications while watching IPTV for things such as incoming email and instant messages. If you IPTV is packaged with digital phone, Caller ID might pop up on screen as your telephone rings.

DIONOM IPTV services allow viewers to have more control of Internet television services. This control ranges from instant service activation to real time television on demand controls. Some of the advanced Internet television features such as personal media channels, anywhere television extensions, global television channels and multimedia programs are described.

Because each IP television viewer has a unique address, this allows advertising messages to be sent to specific viewers (addressable advertising). The ability to direct advertising messages to specific target audiences (addressable advertising) is more valuable to companies than traditional broadcast advertising and this may result in reduced viewing costs.

VoIP

Constant and dramatic changes in the telecommunications industry in recent years combined with rapid advances in Internet technologies has created a compelling environment for the introduction of IP phone services.

With IP telephony or voice-over-IP (VoIP), traditional voice service shifts from old-time circuit-switched networks to Internet Protocol (IP), where calls are broken into informational "packets" and then sent over data networks and reassembled upon arrival at their final destination. This more efficient method of transporting your voice calls results in lower costs compared to traditional phone calls that tie up available capacity on a copper phone line. Five years after their inception, VoIP calls preserve the business-grade voice quality expected from traditional analog telephone service.

VoIP allows you to make telephone calls over an existing Internet connection. VoIP converts a voice signal (analog) from your telephone into a digital signal that then travels over the Internet to the desired location. It then converts the digital signal back to analog so the person on the other end can hear what you are saying.

You need three things in order to use VoIP:

A high-speed Internet connection (either cable or DSL);

A broadband phone adapter (provided by the VoIP service provider);

Any standard (analog or digital) telephone.

What are Some Advantages of Using VoIP?

Cost - VoIP telephony is very cost effective

All the features are included (voicemail, caller id, call waiting, 3-way, call forwarding and much more)

VoIP is portable. You can take the phone adapter anywhere where there is an existing Internet connection, plug it in and make calls as if you were at home.

DIONOM VoIP is changing the way businesses communicate. VoIP is the first true alternative to traditional telephone service, and for the first time, business-class VoIP is available and affordable for small and medium businesses. Now, you can take advantage of the cost savings, increased efficiency and reliability of service that business-class VoIP provides.

VoD

DIONOM offers Video-on-Demand service which is an umbrella term for a wide set of technologies whose common goal is to enable individuals to select videos from a central server for viewing on a television or computer screen.

VoD can be used for:

Entertainment (ordering movies transmitted digitally)

Education (viewing training videos)

Videoconferencing (enhancing presentations with video clips).

Video on demand (VOD) is a method of showcasing streaming videos. Streaming videos are viewed as they are being delivered, similarly to radio and television.

DIONOM VOD services allow user to order digitally transmitted movies, as well as to view training videos from the comfort of home. In addition, VOD can be used with videoconferencing, because videoconferencing usually consists of enhanced presentations featuring video clips. VOD can also be used to send and view video clips on mobile phones and other wireless gadgets.

Most Video on Demand services allow the user fine control over the requested content, including pausing it, reviewing previously viewed content (also called "rewinding"), advancing through it (also called "fast-forward"), as well as slow-motion versions of rewind and fast-forward. These functions are sometimes called "trick modes."

DIONOM Video-on-Demand includes much wider services and
opportunities. Today’s technologies allow us to offer such services as
home shopping, games, and movies on demand. These services have
a competitive price comparing to the video rental, and customers
do not need to travel for the services. These possibilities have been
reached by DIONOM by the development of the telecommunication
and electronic industry.

This new technology is being developed all the time, because
Video-on-Demand has so many different applications to offer to the
customers and economical possibilities have been seen.
