ANEVIA AND EXPWAY PARTNER TO DELIVER NEXT-GENERATION CDN FEATURES TO FIXED AND
                          MOBILE CONVERGED OPERATORS

Amsterdam, IBC 2017: Anevia, leading OTT and IPTV software vendor providing
innovative multiscreen solutions for TV and Video delivery including live, near
live and on demand, is announcing its partnership with Expway, world leader in
LTE Broadcast, to enhance its NEA- CDN product range with next generation CDN
features.

Drawing on Anevia's OTT expertise and Expway's expertise in multicast over any
IP network, the two partners have developed an offer to help smooth transition
from IPTV to OTT, ensure scalability of CDN by adding LTE broadcast
capabilities while drastically reducing cost compared to traditional CDN
architectures. This new offer is designed both for cable operators to leverage
their own network infrastructure as well as operators with fixed and mobile
networks to create convergence.

The advantages of this new offer are multiple

Transition from IPTV to OTT - Thanks to multicast ABR technology, operators
transitioning from IPTV to OTT will be able to reuse their existing multicast
infrastructure for the OTT service and as a consequence with limit the impact
on the network when scaling the OTT service.

Scalability of an OTT service - Thanks to multicast ABR technology, the
operators with an existing OTT service will be able to automatically switch the
most popular channels from unicast to multicast delivery when needed, resulting
in up to 80% bandwidth savings.

Convergence between fixed-line and mobile services - This new offer relies on a
standard technology that is suitable for both multicast ABR and mobile
deployments. Consequently, operators can rely on a single CDN technology for
both fixed-line and 4G content delivery, resulting in massive CAPEX and OPEX
savings.

In future phases, the aim is dynamically adapt the delivery mode from unicast
to multicast ABR based on a real time audience monitoring. This will lead to
optimizing bandwidth usage and improving user experience.

For Damien Lucas, CTO and co-founder of Anevia: "Combining Anevia's expertise
in delivery of video and Expway's expertise in LTE broadcast, our companies
have come up with a unique solution to solve the difficult scalability equation
for OTT services. He also adds: "We already foresee a number of existing
customers who will benefit from this new offer that will help them manage OTT
viewing peaks while improving their QoS ".

"Recent live boxing, soccer or american football streaming incidents have
demonstrated that sustaining a good video quality experience  with  popular
OTT  is  basically  impossible,"  said Claude Seyrat, Expway Co-Founder and
CMO. "Expway and Anevia solve this issue by providing a unified high-quality
experience to the end-user, whether large-scale multi-media content is provided
through Multicast ABR, LTE-Broadcast or traditional CDN ".
