About Us

The Aerocast Focus
Aerocast is a broadband streaming media services company focused on overcoming the three critical obstacles to distributing entertainment-quality video over the Internet:

  • Video quality and performance: Today's Internet doesn't support streaming video at transfer rates much higher than 300 kbps. At higher speeds, video quality suffers because Internet congestion doesn't allow guaranteed real-time streaming.
  • Economics: The current economic pricing model doesn't accommodate the requirements of most content providers seeking to make available, video content at high enough bit rates to be considered entertainment quality-put simply, it's too expensive!
  • Security and rights management: The lack of a credible and standardized secure rights management system for video content over the Internet has made leading content providers reluctant to deliver their digital assets via the Internet, for fear of piracy.

    Aerocast Company Dynamics
    Aerocast is an early-stage San Diego company focusing on broadband streaming media services. Aerocast brings together a strong combination of highly experienced technology and broadband industry executives, excellent funding from leaders in the broadband, media, and investment communities, and innovative technology that will fundamentally change the delivery of video content across the Internet.

    Aerocast has developed and is now deploying the components and infrastructure that provide a breakthrough in IP streaming video quality, performance, security, and cost. Aerocast provides services based on this platform, to content providers and broadband last-mile operators (e.g., cable modem, DSL and wireless).

    Aerocast also has the industry contacts (through its management team, board, and partners) to develop a vast network of leading content providers and broadband operators, paving the way for distribution of new categories and performance levels of video across the Internet. This is demonstrated by the fact that initial equity investors include Motorola and Liberty Media Corporation.

    Aerocast has already established dynamic relationships with leading-edge technology partners for streaming media and caching technologies and a national quality of service network. Another key partnership is with Motorola, the acknowledged leader in rights management and conditional access, MPEG-4 technology, cable modems and digital set-top boxes, and broadband operator and content relationships.
