Las Vegas, NV -- NAB2006 Nagravision Booth #SU1976 Quative Limited (Quative),
a Kudelski Group (SWX:KUD) company, is launching and demonstrating
Quative IPTV Service Platform (QSP), its next generation IPTV
service delivery platform. As a service-oriented architecture, the
new platform allows operators to provide a seamless IPTV service to
subscribers' set-top boxes and other devices based on an open client
software model. QSP enhances the service provider's ability to
launch new IPTV services, enabling full control of the end user
experience.
QSP comes pre-integrated with Nagravision Lysis content and DRM
management and Nagra IP content protection systems. The platform
supports the industry's leading video servers and encoding systems.
The integration of proven, state-of-the-art components into a
seamless solution suite will enable Nagravision IPTV customers to
provide a flexible, expandable set of distinctive features while
securing a stable, reliable platform with short time-to-market. |
QSP is launching simultaneously with the Quative Reference
Application Suite which provides a comprehensive set of base IPTV
applications. Applications include an Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
with DVR and TV-on-demand, video-on-demand (VOD), parental control,
messaging, and e-mail. It is the first of its kind to fully leverage
the capabilities of the new ANT Galio TV browser. This results in an
end-user experience with the performance and graphical richness
previously available only in native implementations. With this
solution, subscribers enjoy the full benefit of portability,
cost-effective web-based service development, and customization.
Pierre Roy, Kudelski Group Executive Vice President, Chief Operating
Officer, Digital TV said, "The launch of the Quative IPTV Service
Platform and its Reference Application Suite marks a significant
step in the expansion of our IPTV solution suite. This suite
supports customers launching or expanding their IPTV and hybrid
IPTV-DVB services."
With QSP and its applications suite, service providers retain full
control of their service ergonomics and hence can easily
differentiate and innovate their service portfolio. Main platform
features include:
- Device provisioning and
detection
- Device and transaction
authentication
- Billing data collection
- Subscription and policy
management
- Service diagnostics and
telemetry
Quative is demonstrating QSP at the
Nagravision booth #SU1976 in conjunction with an MPEG-4, IPTV single
chip set-top box supporting the next generation ANT Galio TV browser
and client framework. In addition to its Quative Reference
Application Suite, Quative is displaying interactive TV content such
as "Tringo" and "Racing World" from YooMedia supported by the QSP.
"Service providers seeking to offer triple or quad play applications
want to jump directly to the next generation of IPTV solutions. To
support them, Quative Limited is working closely with partners to
create, enhance, and integrate open end-to-end systems," said
Sebastian Kramer, CEO Quative Limited. "The Nagravision booth at the
NAB will showcase IPTV solutions enabled by our platform,
applications suite, and services."
