Outsourcing Media with North Coast

Streaming media can be an IT nightmare. The protocols and processes of successful and cost effective streaming can be confusing to say the least. Encoding video and audio, prioritizing servers and then distributing your programing 24/7 to your community can be an expensive and time consuming challenge to the best of IT departments. The North Coast team takes care of all the technical details so you can focus on what you do best.

Do it yourself?

Even if you have a crack IT team, local Government and Businesses have limited Internet connection speeds. Most times there’s only just enough bandwidth for staff email and web access. Not sure about bandwidth? Think of bandwidth as a freshly baked pie. Each viewing of your program is like a slice of that pie. The bigger the pie, the more people you can simultaneously serve. But no matter how you slice it, when you are out of pie, you are out of pie . . .

To put this into perspective, a server dedicated to stream video via a $500 - $900 a month T1 connection speed of 1.54 Mbps can accommodate about 10 viewers at a time. That’s great if you only have ten viewers in your community. Need more? Sure you do. An Internet connection with the Bandwidth (remember our pie) necessary for 250 or so simultaneous viewers can easily increase your cost by $50,000 or more per year. All that and you may only need full capacity a couple of times each year. That’s like having a 747 idling at the airport 24 hours a day, seven days a weeks so it will be available on Saturdays should you need it. There’s no expensive bandwidth waste with North Coast. We give you the exact bandwidth necessary to reach your community. Plus there are no costly surprises with our Flat Rate Pricing.

Compare Costs

North Coast provides you with large capacity bandwidth. Our servers are connected to multiple Gigabit pipelines with a combined capacity exceeding 50,000 simultaneous viewers. (That’s a very, very large pie!) All that for a small fraction of the ‘do it yourself’ cost.
