Andy Mathieson’s session:
‘What are the business benefits of going local?’ is at 15:30 on the
22nd July, part of the ‘Targeting Rural Communities’ conference
strand.
“We believe that for the local operator, IPTV provides a real chance
to do what they do best – provide the local community with
entertainment and information services that really answer their
needs. It is all about helping the local operators to provide the
services that differentiate their offering.” says Andy Mathieson,
Director, Latens.
“IPTV enables smaller operators all over the USA to provide
triple-play services to retain customers and increase ARPU. But it’s
more than that: the IP in IPTV ensures that even the smallest Telco
can very easily integrate local web-feeds, local newsfeeds, local
webcams all accessed through a user-friendly IPTV EPG. The
combination of best in class look and feel with local content that a
tier-one Telcos can’t provide is an amazingly powerful offering for
a local operator. We are focused on helping Telcos across the USA to
provide what communities everywhere want: great entertainment and
the best in local information and services, all provided by people
that really know and understand the local community,” concluded
Mathieson.
Latens will also be demonstrating the benefits
and capabilities of its ECO system (ECO) as part of a turnkey
delivery solution on the EchoStar IPTV World Forum booth (# 4).
Latens ECO is a high performance, state of the art software IPTV
service delivery platform that combines middleware functions and
world class conditional access functions in a single platform.
Configured to meet the needs of the US Telco market, the benefits of
ECO include:

integration and capital investment costs: Turnkey deployment of
ECO provides middleware functions with best in class conditional
access in a single system, which removes additional and costly
integration

available for increased customisation and insertion of local
content
