is a powerful interactive TV application server for the Return-path that enables
the delivery of iTV applications and channel/program data to targeted set-top boxes through
the IP channel. This practical usage of the IP channel allows a significant reduction of the
required bandwidth to broadcast/multicast the applications and data, while providing targeted
services to each set-top box.
AltiNetcaster™ also simplifies the management of iTV applications and helps the developer
and operator keep track of application updates.
AltiNetcaster™ is composed of two main components; AppNetcaster and EPGNetcaster.

AltiNetcaster™ uses open standard technologies such as DVB-MHP, OCAP/tru2way platform, ACAP and J2EE, which support stable services, shorten development time and support integration with other backend business servers.

AltiNetcaster™ is designed to enable the system administrator to conveniently check the
system burden and establish plans for system expansion.

Because AltiNetcaster™ supports vital service components, it includes a reliable redun-
dancy system. This fail-safe configuration prevents system failure in the event a server
component should malfunction. The dual server components are designed to work in
active-active mode.

AltiNetcaster™ supports basic processing functionalities such as management of security,
transactions, transaction tracking and transaction reporting.
