Universities
JANET / UKERNA
Inuk has a background of developing solutions around the student and academic market.
It is through this background that the power of UKERNA's JANET network became apparent. JANET is the network dedicated to the needs of education and research in the UK.
In July 2005 Inuk and UKERNA reached an agreement to launch an IPTV trial over the JANET backbone. A number of UK universities are now part of a live trial of the Inuk service over JANET, with a view to launching full services in September 2006.
- Over 16 million end users
- Fully multicast enabled
- Downstream speeds of 8Mbps+
- Student accommodation does not commonly provide for either analogue or digital TV
- Digital Switchover will mean indoor aerials become even poorer
- Around 500,000 University hall residents will be able to receive the IPTV feeds
