Tata Communications, a leading provider of a new world of communications and TV5MONDE, the leading global French language network has announced that TV5MONDE has selected Tata Communications' LiveBroadcast service to distribute key events in real-time via the internet. LiveBroadcast, a high-quality, flash-based streaming service, will provide TV5 with the necessary resources and scalability to support their quickly growing audience and support the constant and dynamic flow of content. With a reach of more than 180 million households, TVS has extended their 10-year long relationship with Tata Communications to deliver live internet content as the channel increases their Web portfolio.

Tata Communications' CDN service delivers among the highest performance and reliability in the industry while providing immediate access to content, including High-Definition Video, without delay or jitter. With more than 300 points of presence worldwide, Tata Communications offers the first truly global CDN service on a state-of-the-art, single ASN global IP network. Through the LiveBroadcast offering, Tata Communications will provide an end-to- end solution that will replicate and distribute content, within a two- to four-second delay using the company's extensive tier-1 IP backbone.

Using a solution that relies on the same distributed origin technology as the one used in its CDN to deliver flash / H264 video on demand services, incoming Live Streams are simultaneously replicated on every delivery node instantly by taking advantage of Tata Communications oversized tier-I IP backbone. Since no proprietary live server-based solution is used, the LiveBroadcast service can scale to handle any live event without requiring additional server rollout.

In addition to LiveBroadcast, the Tata Communications suite of CDN services powered by BitGravity includes Tata Communications CDN, a next- generation CDN designed for a wide range of applications providing the highest performance and reliability on a global scale; and Tata Communications CDN Plus and CDN Secure, add value designed for the distribution and protection of media assets.

The company made this announcement during the trading hours today, 20 April 2009.
