A New Communications Channel

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2004 awarded Online Video Service one of the first five-year live webcasting contracts in the history of federal procurement. The NRC, which oversees the safety and operations of 141 nuclear reactors, contracted with Online Video Service after setting a mission critical goal of improving access to its public meetings in Rockville, Maryland.

Collaborating with NRC staff, Online Video Service created a new public communications channel that includes:

• Fail-safe OVS Media Encoders™
  
  
• Security and redundancy measures that meet federal compliance standards
  
  
• Quality assurance tests before each scheduled event
  
  
• Webcast management during events to ensure continuous, uninterrupted service
  
  
• Hosting of a video archive accessible at any time across the nation
