Irdeto, Amino and Anevia to Provide Innovative DVB over IP Solution to Pay TV Operators Worldwide
Solution to simplify process of delivering IPTV services will be launched by Kosmos TV and Stargate TV in Russia
Amsterdam, The Netherlands – IBC 2007 - September 7, 2007 - Irdeto, the proven expert in content security for digital TV, IPTV and mobile networks, together with Amino, leading IPTV platform supplier, and Anevia, the supplier of next-generation IPTV and VOD servers for telecom operators, broadcasters and integrators, today announced a joint IPTV solution that enables Telcos to provide existing DVB services to their customers via their IP networks.
In addition, CATV and MMDS operators with DVB-C technology or Satellite operators with DVB-S technology can offer the service by transparently converting their full channel package from DVB to an IP Multicast (SPTS) service direct to the subscriber. This will increase the penetration of their existing pay TV services by adding new subscribers and increasing revenue. The Telco operator can add a valuable service to their existing telephony and data services permitting them to offer true triple play to their subscribers with a minimum of investment and effort.
The Irdeto/Amino/Anevia DVB over IP solution will be deployed in Russia by Kosmos TV (DVB-C) and by Stargate TV (DVB-S), with additional implementations in Russia and Ukraine expected shortly.
“This solution gives telcos a more convenient way to offer a complete triple play service,” said Roy Kirsopp, Vice President and General Manager of Amino. “Telcos using this solution will benefit from a quick time to market for new IPTV services using Amino’s innovative and compact STBs, and Irdeto’s proven security.”
“Thanks to Anevia’s Flamingo servers, Irdeto, Anevia and Amino, through a combined solution, have succeeded in implementing a homogeneous scrambling solution for the seamless transportation of DVB-C channels across IPTV networks. This solution is both cost effective and easily deployable,” said Tristan Leteurtre, President and co-founder of Anevia.
“DVB over IP is also an excellent way for cable and satellite operators to extend their reach beyond their existing networks into new, untapped markets,” said Doug Lowther, vice president of sales and marketing for Irdeto. “With this solution, telcos now have a secure and effective choice for launching IPTV services.”
