Alert) Network Services, a consortium of several IPTV service providers in Utah, is deploying the Latens ECOsystem (ECO) to deliver IPTV to more than 45,000 subscribers.
“We are constantly trying to offer our customers the most advanced services possible, and the deployment of an IPTV service is the next important step in this commitment,” said Brock Johansen, president of IPTV Network Services.
“We selected the Latens solution because it offers us the complete package and removed the additional cost and problems associated with multi-vendor integration, enabling us to very easily and quickly roll out a compelling IPTV service to our customers. Latens ECO provides us with a single reliable IPTV infrastructure protected by the Latens’ world-leading Conditional Access system which is accepted by the content industry.”
Latens ECO provides IPTV Networks with a single platform comprising next-generation middleware and Latens’ highly-regarded Conditional Access for the secure delivery of advanced content services.
The affiliates of IPTV Network Services have been offering state-of-the-art telecommunications services in Utah for more than 50 years, providing local, long distance, high-speed Internet, and other business services to more than 45,000 residences and businesses in many counties.
“The management team at IPTV Network Services realized that the only way to make a profitable business case in IPTV is to be able to offer unique revenue generating services. Through thorough analysis, they knew that in order to achieve this goal, they needed to control their own service creation platform. We are pleased that IPTV Network Services has selected the ECO solution from Latens,” said Dean Kashlan, VP and GM Americas, Latens.
“By taking the hard work out of launching a new service, Latens ensures that its customers can now provide an advanced IPTV service with a clear path to profitability in line with their time scales.”
