DENVER, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS) today debuted its next-generation Cloud TV platform for broadcasters and video service providers across the globe. CTS’ Cloud TV enables companies to deliver a complete multi-platform TV experience, both broadcast and OTT, delivered from the cloud via a managed 24×7 service—and backed by the combination of scale and reliability of Comcast Technology Solutions.

With the evolving economic pressures and opportunities facing the premium video industry, companies are seeking ways to simultaneously limit costs, reduce duplicative efforts, and monetize more effectively—all while delivering differentiated viewing experiences with the quality and uptime that today’s viewers demand. In this new age of cloud TV, today’s Tier 1 broadcasters, content owners, and distributors can rely upon the proven capabilities and resources of Comcast Technology Solutions to deliver on all these fronts.

CTS’ Cloud TV provides a highly flexible and scalable framework to unify live linear TV, FAST Channel, SVOD, AVOD, and TVOD into blended experiences for viewers. CTS’ Cloud TV provides centralized ingest, transcoding, and processing of live and on-demand video; metadata management; content protection and rights enforcement; advanced VideoAI™ applications; content recommendations; server-side and contextual advertising; commerce and subscription management; content delivery and OTT distribution; advanced analytics and insights; and a managed user experience for playout across connected devices and apps.

“It’s a dynamic and challenging time across the linear and OTT video landscape, and CTS’ Cloud TV was designed to help our customers meet this moment,” said Bart Spriester, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Streaming, Broadcast, & Advertising for Comcast Technology Solutions. “With Cloud TV, our customers gain access to a next-gen premium platform that lets them manage and monetize their content seamlessly across global streaming, broadcast and advertising audiences—reliably, securely, and at scale. We’ve also incorporated the best partner technologies, and launched a new managed UX service, so they can benefit from the latest cutting-edge innovations. Cloud TV unites the best of our SaaS services and cloud-based linear playout technology to deliver the kind of fully featured, modular, and flexible TV solution that only CTS can offer.”

“Today’s premium video providers must have the ability to efficiently mix their distribution and monetization implementations across subscription packages and bundles, FAST, and VOD to reach viewers wherever they are,” said Maria Rua Aguete, Senior Research Director, Media and Entertainment and Technology Fellow at Omdia. “Doing so requires ultra-flexible and reliable back-end systems, like CTS’ Cloud TV, to execute and adapt quickly at scale, and seize their part of a massive financial opportunity. The online video market of $367 billion, coupled with the traditional TV market of $345 billion, represents the bulk of a nearly one trillion-dollar media and entertainment market in 2024. Our research shows that pay TV is here to stay, and ad-based online video is where we expect to see the most growth, so those able to efficiently offer both are in the best position to succeed long-term.”

Fox ESS Launches POWER BEAST to Simplify C&I Energy Storage Deployment

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fox ESS, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, has announced the Australian launch of POWER BEAST, a scalable commercial and industrial energy storage solution combining the H3 Plus Hybrid Inverter with the CQ7 High Voltage Storage Battery.

Traditional commercial battery systems often require extensive cabling, multiple connection points, and significant on-site assembly, “POWER BEAST combines a compact dual-stack design with fast, plug-and-play installation, reducing system height and installation complexity,” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director at Fox ESS. “By integrating the H3 Plus with the scalable CQ7 platform, we are helping partners lower costs, save space and deliver C&I projects with greater confidence.”

POWER BEAST is built around the H3 Plus Hybrid Inverter, the modular CQ7 High Voltage Battery and the optional CQ7 Dual Tower Base. Available with AC output from 50 kW to 125 kW, the H3 Plus supports up to three independent battery inputs.

When paired with CQ7 batteries, a single inverter can support up to 292 kWh of storage capacity. Multiple POWER BEAST systems can scale up to 3.125 MW / 7.35 MWh for on-grid applications and 1.25 MW / 2.94 MWh for off-grid applications.

For projects targeting the NSW PDRS BESS4 capacity range, one H3 Plus 100 kW inverter paired with two CQ7 battery stacks provides approximately 195 kWh of storage capacity, allowing projects to maximise potential incentive value.

A key feature of POWER BEAST is the CQ7 Dual Tower Base, which supports two battery stacks on one shared base and keeps system height under 1.3 m. Pre-installed power and communication connections simplify installation and reduce wiring risks, while the system integrates solar PV, battery storage, EPS backup, generator and EV charging, with approximately five-second module installation.

By combining the H3 Plus Hybrid Inverter, modular CQ7 storage and the Dual Tower Base accessory, POWER BEAST provides installers, EPCs, distributors and project partners with a scalable C&I platform designed to reduce installation complexity and make more efficient use of available space.
