Support for industry standards and a secure web interface make it easy to integrate BMG into existing infrastructures, without the need for additional proprietary hardware.

BMG acquires, decodes, and analyzes a wide variety of IP media flows...

BMG Tap Multiple Networks 1024X737

Tap into multiple networks with a single BMG

Tap into multiple networks using a single BMG. BMGs support multiple high-speed network interfaces, which allows them to access multiple networks. A single BMG, therefore can monitor content from multiple segregated networks without having to bridge networks, helping to maintain proper security boundaries.

Web browser-based user interface

BMG uses a modern web browser-based user interface which simplifies the deployment and management of BMGs across an enterprise. With no client-side application software to worry about, reducing the burden on the support team. From a web browser view all of the media that is actively being analyzed and monitored by the BMG.
