Miami, FL, March 28, 2002--ArcoStream, the new leader in streaming, hosting, encoding, and storage solutions, announced today it is launching services to customers in both North and South America. The company's target market is both entertainment and enterprise customers wishing to add rich media content to their web sites. In addition, ArcoStream can provide a more cost-effective webhosting alternative to companies in Latin America that find bandwidth and hardware costs prohibitively expensive in their home country.

The company's management team has more than 15 years experience in the streaming industry with companies such as Evoke Communications, InterVU, and SolidStreaming. Its technical team has handled important clients from the record and motion picture industry, to financial and technology companies. The main focus of the company is providing top-notch customer service to clients and viewers alike.

"ArcoStream has employed best of breed technology from the streaming, hosting, storage, and encoding industries," according to Curtis Beck, Business Development Manager for Microsoft's Windows Media Player team.

Customers will greatly benefit from ArcoStream�s redundant, fault-tolerant network, which has excellent connectivity to both major US and Latin American backbones. Backbone providers were chosen based on their peering arrangements, as well as their ability to minimize packet loss, which in turn provides for a better experience to the end user.

"We saw service to/from Latin America as one of the most underserved markets in the streaming business because of the high costs of serving content outside the US", according to Todd Loewenstein, ArcoStream's CEO. "With our knowledge of the industry and established business relationships, we anticipate being the major player in this high growth market for rich media."
