Using Internap’s premium IP connectivity, colocation and route optimization appliances, coupled with VitalStream’s content delivery network, Planetvu has met the challenge of distributing broadcast quality content to over 205 million unique broadband households in over 120 countries. Collectively, the technologies provide an end-to-end solution that delivers fast, reliable access to Planetvu’s IPTV service from anywhere in the world.
