By Niladri Sekhar Nath, TMCnet Contributing Editor


Ambit Microsystems, a developer of wired and wireless broadband communications, has selected the Alticast tru2way platform middleware solution, AltiCaptor, for their digital cable set-top boxes.

 
AltiCaptor is currently deployed in digital cable, satellite and broadcast receivers around the world and is proven in over 5 million devices in consumer's homes.
 
"Ambit is pleased to work with Alticast to continue delivering high-quality and competitive products to our valued cable customers," said Max Cangelosi, Vice President of Marketing for Ambit.
 
"We believe Alticast's experience and dedication to the tru2way platform aligns with our vision to help service providers fully take advantage of innovative new technologies for the subscriber," also said Cangelosi.
 
Ambit is working with Alticast to initially bring two cable receivers to market. The first model will be a single-tuner, standard-definition device that will support the latest OpenCable specifications. And as the demand for HD-DVR services grows, Ambit will also said it will deliver a high-performance, dual-tuner, HD-DVR cable receiver later in the year.
 
"Alticast is excited about Ambit's commitment to providing tru2way-compatible devices to the North American market," said Jeffrey Bonin, General Manager of Alticast. "We are confident that Ambit will provide products that help broaden the footprint of the tru2way platform deployments, and are proud to be a trusted partner for Ambit's aggressive plans."
 
Alticast offers software solutions and services for the delivery, reception and playback of interactive television content based on DVB-MHP, the tru2way platform and Blu-ray Disc.
