Stockholm, Sweden & Ra’anana, Israel -- Operax, the leading vendor
of dynamic Resource and Admission Control solutions for IP service

Operax provides pre-IMS and IMS-compliant,
carrier-grade dynamic Resource and Admission Control solutions to
operators worldwide, allowing them to guarantee end-to-end QoS for
any IP session. Combining these advanced technologies with Orca
Interactive‘s highly flexible IPTV middleware, the new solution will
enable operators to quickly deploy new applications and services
without reconfiguring their network infrastructure. In addition, the
new solution will help provide leverage in the face of growing
competition from incumbent cable and satellite pay-TV operators, as
well as broadcasters and service providers offering Internet video
streaming over operators’ existing infrastructures.
Optimizing network capacity, the Orca RiGHTv will ensure that
subscribers are constantly met with first-rate video offerings for
high definition television and video-on-demand (VOD). By
guaranteeing service quality, IPTV operators can increase customer
satisfaction and loyalty, whilst boosting operational efficiency
through optimal allocation of network resources based on cost and
availability.
The new solution, operable in both pre-IMS and IMS environments,
will also help operators manage QoS in single-service IPTV
deployments as well as across multiple blended services such as
IPTV, VoIP, games and broadband.
Operax Solutions Alliances Director, Roberto Kauffmann-Dev, said:
"We see that with subscriber numbers going up and an increasing
shift to on-demand content, most IPTV operators need a solution for
QoS Control. Pioneering the IPTV middleware landscape, Orca
Interactive have longstanding and diverse experience in IPTV
deployments and make an excellent partner for Operax. Following the
technology integration Operax has joined Orca’s Interactive partners
program (Interactive Alliances)."
Asi Messica Director of Product Marketing at Orca Interactive, said:
"As an innovator of IPTV technologies, we believe that guaranteed
QoS is becoming increasingly important to operators, particularly
when they want to widen their footprint or launch new products like
VOD, or High Definition TV. In anticipation of this evolving trend,
Orca has joined with the Quality of Experience Ecosystem of Operax,
a leader in Dynamic Resource and Admission Control in IP networks,
to help operators optimize their network capex spend and guarantee
high quality video services to their subscribers.”
