Enron,s ePowered Market Cast Solution
ePowered Market Cast, an application of the Enron Intelligent Network, is an 
end-to-end streaming media solution for banks, brokerages and other financial 
services firms.  Using ePowered Market Cast, companies can enhance investor 
relations, conduct virtual road shows and stream analyst presentations from 
their websites.  In addition, ePowered Market Cast is a powerful intranet 
solution for providing real-time financial news, data feeds, training and 
presentations to an internal audience.  The application streams video at an 
average bit-rate speed of 200 kilobits per second (kbps).
The Enron Intelligent Network is based on distributed server architecture, a 
pure Internet Protocol (IP) platform and embedded software intelligence that 
sets it apart from other networks.  The EIN,s enhanced performance is due to 
its ability to deliver streaming media content &one hop8 away from the user 
at the closest EIN edge server.  The result is a TV-quality viewing 
experience for the user.  In contrast, the public Internet,s ability to 
deliver the broadband content businesses need is often hampered by packet 
loss, interference and other disruptions that slow down transmission speed 
and compromise the end user,s experience.
