Entone, Inc.,
the IPTV connected home company, today announced that their
Hydra™ HD IPTV video gateway and Amulet™ HD IPTV
receiver have been selected by Netstream for their operator's
high-definition (HD) IPTV service deployments in Switzerland.
Netstream is an innovative Internet service
provider (ISP) based in Dübendorf, Switzerland, providing
managed services and systems integration to a well-known list
of telephone operators throughout Switzerland.
"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."
