RDK Adoption Continues to Rise Across Broadband and Video Service Providers Worldwide

For video, RDK provides common methods to manage video tuning, conditional access, DRM, stream management, diagnostics, and more. Companies can also benefit from the RDK App Framework to build and manage their own apps; select an RDK pre-integrated app store solution, such as the Metrological App Store; or choose an RDK Video Accelerator, a fully integrated IP set-top box, from leading suppliers, such as CommScope, Humax, KAON, and Technicolor.

For broadband, RDK provides consistency across DOCSIS, DSL, GPON, and Ethernet gateways. It enables support for routing, Wi-Fi, device management, diagnostics, DNS, and IoT interfaces, such as Bluetooth, Thread and Zigbee. Leading suppliers, including Altice Labs, CommScope, Humax, Sagemcom, and Technicolor are enabling operators to deploy RDK across their various broadband networks.  

For IP-connected cameras, RDK expects to provide software in the coming weeks that will enable common methods to support live video feeds, continuous video recording, motion detection, and watermarking. RDK community member Sercomm, a leading supplier of IoT solutions, will offer RDK software on their IP-connected cameras. James Wang, CEO of Sercomm noted, “Sercomm has devoted significant R&D resources to the development of IoT solutions in order to offer customers with high performance, cost-effective and extensible products. We are proud to be the first in the market to bring RDK-powered cameras to operators around the world.” 

Device provisioning, data diagnostics reporting, and telemetry are consistent across all RDK software profiles, enabling service providers to manage video, broadband, and cameras in uniform way.
