"Our customers wanted a
reliable solution that would allow them to rapidly deploy IPTV
services. We needed a robust IPTV set-top solution that was
integrated with Minerva Networks' iTVManager middleware platform,"
stated Reto Kasser, CTO of Netstream. "We selected the Entone
solution because of its field-proven track record and its capability
to use existing in-home wiring infrastructure."
Entone's Hydra HD and Amulet HD enable HD IPTV
and broadband video services using MPEG-4 (AVC/H.264) compression
technologies. The devices and their software platforms are
pre-integrated with the world's leading middleware and digital
rights management solutions and offer an array of optional features
such as a digital video recorder (DVR), an ATSC/QAM tuner (for North
America), or a DVB-T/DVB-C tuner (for EMEA) for receiving
over-the-air broadcast television. For a wider distribution of video
content throughout the home, Hydra HD and Amulet HD also support a
broad range of home networking technologies such as 802.11n,
HomePlug, and HomePNA 3.0. These robust features enable service
providers to offer new revenue-generating services such as
whole-home DVR.
"Switzerland represents one of the fastest growing IPTV markets in
Europe," commented Ian Jefferson, VP of Business Development at
Entone. "The Netstream deployments further represent Entone's
commitment to providing world-class IPTV solutions tailored for the
European marketplace. We are pleased to be working with Netstream on
their IPTV rollouts and we look forward to supporting them in their
success."
