The AmiNET125 is a
new fully featured multi-codec device supporting standard definition
(SD) video streams. It offers operators greatly increased return on
investment (ROI) and average revenue per user (ARPU) through the
provision of support for future services and a low-cost, powerful
hardware design.
The AmiNET125 has been built on a new hardware platform, which draws
on the popular AmiNET110 MPEG-2 and award-winning AmiNET124 MPEG-4
devices to offer multiple software configurations and support for
both traditional and advanced codecs without the need for expensive
equipment upgrades. The platform features a programmable DSP to
support low bit rate codecs and remote software upgrades without the
need for hardware truck rolls. The integrated host processor enables
highly responsive support for multiple middleware and enhanced user
interface services.
"This device will allow our customers to stay ahead of the curve and
offer the most advanced services to their subscribers, boosting ROI
and ARPU, while keeping their costs low," commented Roy Kirsopp, VP
and General Manager of Amino. "It combines the best features from
our previous SD units and the enhanced features will help operators
to reduce customer churn".
The unit, which supports home networking, is expected to prove
particularly attractive to the Asian markets which have embraced SD
IPTV and the increased market reach offered by the latest video
compression standards. The addition of a USB 2.0 connector also adds
an extra level of future proofing. "We predict that additional
applications such as video telephony over IP will become
increasingly attractive as time goes by," continued Kirsopp.
"Therefore, we are ensuring that our platform can be easily expanded
to cope with the changing market needs while also offering immediate
value to our customers."
