Hi,
Thank you for posting your requirement.
My name is Inderjeet and own a small 4 member IT services firm based at Chandigarh,India. We have been into IT since 1994 (MS-DOS based desktop software), into Web-apps since 2001 and Wowza/FMS/red5/Kaltura based video streaming/VOD apps for about 5 years, beside VoIP Solutions. We also maintain our clients' servers (mostly linux) on their behalf besides fiddling with our own Linux test bed VPS's and VMs. Currently exploring International clients for video streaming, backend support and VoIP related work through these portals for mutually beneficial and long lasting collaborations.
1. Your budget is a bit low, can you afford to bring it around $1500-$2000?
2. UDP(multicast) will work only on a LAN, not over the Internet or outside LAN.
3. You will need a server to maintain the database of users/devices/STBs and streams and groups
4. This project may take 1-2 months to complete fully (completely automated and integrated)
5. We will give you the OS for the STP but you'll need to install it yourself or provide remote access somehow to install it on one device for testing.
That should be enough for now. There maybe more questions once we hear from you. We look forward to hearing from you and building a long lasting and mutually fruitful relationship.
Sincerely,
Inderjeet
