MediaCast Mobile
4G/5G Multicast Delivery Server for eMBMS solution
ENENSYS MediaCast Mobile is an efficient and robust Long-Term Evolution (LTE) broadcast and 5G delivery server. It enables service providers to deliver high-quality content to their subscribers simultaneously, with consistent Quality-of-Service (QoS), while reducing their network bandwidth costs. It includes a Controller that allows Content Delivery Networks (CDN), and Mobile Network Operators (MNO) to easily set-up and manage LTE Broadcast provisionning. It assists providers in detecting service consumption patterns and switches delivery between Unicast and Multicast accordingly. Its user-friendly GUI interface hides the complexity of service provisioning. Advanced monitoring, security, and workflow capabilities offer unparalleled configuration and ease of management.
Highlights
A controller for the content delivery management
Content delivery is managed through one smart controller that centralises content consumption intelligence in order to dynamically determine the right delivery strategy. It comes with pre-built broadcast service templates, such as streaming HD video, transferring large data files or software updates, with several customisation options available. These easy-to-use templates are designed to reduce the time it takes to set-up LTE Broadcast services. ENENSYS provides additional professional services to build customised templates to fit your needs.
FEC, File Repair and Reception Reporting
MediaCast Mobile offers powerful FEC, File Repair, and Reception Reporting capabilities to keep tabs on file transmission quality and ensure consistent QoS. The FEC transmits redundant bytes up front to correct potential errors without retransmission. File Repair enables individual devices to acquire missing chunks of data. Transmitted content is stored to automatically respond to lost-data requests. The Reception Reporting function stores QoE information that can eventually be processed for service improvements.
3GPP Compliant
MediaCast Mobile is fully compliant with 3rd Generation Partnership Project standards (3GPP). Active 3GPP members for years, our team chooses and implements the most relevant features from the 3GPP standards, so our clients can stay ahead of the competition.
Advanced Workflow
MediaCast Mobile offers several convenient features to manage your LTE Broadcast services. Its powerful role-based security access control supports multi-level roles to increase security and simplify the provisioning process. This feature is flexible enough to easily align it with any organisation’s responsibility structure. The advanced approval workflow allows better control of LTE broadcasting operations.
Applications

Other Benefits
- Suitable for large scale rollouts (countrywide network) as well as small LTE-Broadcast deployments
- BM-SC (Broadcast-Multicast Service Center): Core element of the LTE Broadcast, responsible for service creation, ingesting content coming from live encoders and/or CDN, formatting it and broadcasting it down to eNodeBs
- MBMS-Gateway, integrated into our BM-SC
- MCE (Multi-Cell/Multicast Coordination Entity)
- LTE Broadcast part of the MME – Functional entity for non eMBMS ready MME
It also includes a Controller for:
- LTE-Broadcast / OTT / Service provisioning
- Service scheduling / planning, Geo-Planning
- Multicast-Operation-on-Demand (MooD)
- Multiple BMSC/Multicast server management
- Target network capacity control, and scheduling collision control
- Supports DASH/HLS/CMAF LL service definition
- Provides Service template mechanisms to simplify operational use
