Uniguest has joined forces with Extreme Networks, a provider of AI-powered automation for networking, to simplify the deployment and management of IPTV and digital signage systems across large-scale networks.
The integration enables media players running on the Hub AV (formerly Tripleplay) platform to automatically identify themselves to Extreme
Fabric Attach, enabling network administrators to apply preconfigured policies and automate device provisioning, eliminating the need for manual, device-by-device network
configuration.
Traditional edge devices like IP cameras and signage do not automatically connect to Fabric networks, requiring time-consuming manual configuration
for each individual device. With Fabric Attach, those devices can be automatically, seamlessly connected to an Extreme Fabric Connect network,
simplifying deployment, reducing manual overhead, and extending the benefits of Fabric to the entire network edge.
The collaboration is particularly relevant
for stadiums, arenas and large venues, where reliable delivery of live video, digital signage and venue information across hundreds or
thousands of screens is essential. It complements Uniguest's Sports Hub, while also supporting Enterprise Hub and applications across hospitality, education
and other connected environments.
Beyond simplified provisioning, the collaboration also validates Hub AV’s IPTV and digital signage capabilities across Extreme
Networks infrastructure for customers using Extreme Fabric, including high-availability failover, reliable multicast IPTV delivery, and frame-synchronised media playback across multiple displays.
