Paris, France -- Witbe and its Korean integrator Tricomtek have been
selected by Hanaro Telecom to provide a video quality monitoring
platform for their new HD IPTV services.
After the government’s authorization allowing local operators to
broadcast television content in October 2006, Hanaro planned to
launch a video service for Korean market and required a service
monitoring platform to ensure quality prior to launch. |

Hanaro already has a pre-IPTV service based on
VoD download. With the launch of a full HD service, Witbe robots
provide three essential functions:
- Evaluating Set-Top
Box models and manufacturers by measuring the quality and
stability of the device, including the Mean Time Before Failure
(MTBF)
- Verifying the
quality of Hana TV in terms of zapping time and video and audio
quality on a 24x7 basis
- Controling the
network quality based on ETSI TR 101.290 MPEG-2 TS metrics.
Hanaro is now using Witbe HD robot in their
labotary for pre-deployment.
The combination of Witbe’s technology and local know-how ensures
customer satisfaction for the carrier. With the local support of our
partner Tricomtek, we can deliver a dedicated solution fully adapted
to Korean market under three months,” said Arman Aygen, Business
Development Manager of Witbe.
