Combined IP Media Expertise Simplifies Complex Workflows and Optimizes Video Signals for Service Providers and Telcos in Real-time

Fort Lauderdale, FL and Tel Aviv, Feb. 19, 2024BNS Inc., a strategic business, technology and engineering services company that brings diverse expertise to solve complex challenges, today announced its latest partnership with TAG Video Systems, the leader in real-time media performance and software-based deep monitoring of linear video workflows. Together the companies empower video service providers with advanced probing, monitoring and visualization capabilities for seamless delivery of content and adaptable workflows to meet the ever-evolving demands of the telecommunications industry.

“The collaboration with TAG leverages our deep experience and understanding of IP content and media operations to deliver high-quality video services at scale, while reducing the burden of managing large and complex workflows, which is an operational challenge we often see with our customers,” said Chuck Hasek, CTO  of BNS. “The company and its TAG platform are great additions to our highly selective partner ecosystem.”

As the telecommunications landscape continues to evolve rapidly, it is crucial for service providers of all sizes to continuously assess the quality of video streams throughout the delivery process. By identifying issues such as packet loss, jitter or network congestion in real-time, telcos can take proactive measures to maintain and enhance the quality of service. TAG currently supports more than 150,000 probing/monitoring points across the four primary broadcasting applications – live production, playout/master control, distribution and OTT/delivery.

“With BNS designing accurate and agile infrastructures and TAG providing full IP media workflow visibility, we are able to instill operational confidence for video service operators. They are able to cost-efficiently enhance, maintain and deliver quality at scale, while also enabling highly agile and adaptable workflows,” said Kevin Joyce, Zero Friction Officer of TAG Video Systems.

The TAG platform will be demonstrated at the NCTC Winter Educational Conference (WEC) Feb. 26-27 at the BNS booth #502. Service providers can learn more about the TAG real-time media platform and start a free 90-day trial.
