Posté par Roland dans In english please, Member profile le 30/11/2008
TeamCast is a young enterprise. Created in 2003 near the city of Rennes, it has grown rapidly and is now a major player in the digital broadcasting industry. Gérard Faria is the Executive Director. He stresses the deliberately highly targeted positioning of TeamCast: « We are concentrating on the digital television and mobile television markets. We do not offer end to end solutions. We sell OEM modules designed to be integrated into professional transmission, measurement and reporting solutions. Our clients are network equipment manufacturers, measurement equipment manufacturers, television operators or mobile network operators. They buy TeamCast products because of their high performance characteristics. »
Towards a Wide Range of Testing Facilities
Posté par Roland dans In english please, R&D insights le 25/11/2008
Since its creation in 2005, Images et Réseaux has focused its attentions on the question of evaluation platforms. It set itself the goal of making its area a testing ground for new technologies and experimentation of new uses. Dominique Guillois, the cluster’s technical manager, told us of the issues involved: « Our intention of developing test platforms arises from two central ideas. The first is to join forces in order to pool our resources. A test platform is a tool that not everyone can afford but that will benefit all. The second idea is to change our way of working and to put the end user at the centre of the R&D process. New products launched on the market turn out to be failures far too often. A lot of them do not achieve their objectives because of a lack of awareness of the requirements and behavior of the end users. Setting up platforms will enable companies to gain access to users and observe their behavior in real conditions. »
We want our area to become a place known for the quality of its testing facilities
