Entone Picked for Chequamegon's IPTV Service Rollout

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributor


Entone’s award-winning Hydra HD IP video gateway and Amulet HD IPTV (News - Alert) receiver have been chosen for Chequamegon Communications’ IPTV service rollout.

 
Comprised of 12 exchanges, Chequamegon Communications Cooperative is a major telephone cooperative in Wisconsin. As a full service communications company, Chequamegon offers digital telephone, Internet and IPTV services across northern Wisconsin.
 
Chequamegon had an extensive list of requirements for their IPTV rollout and needed a field-proven solution that can be deployed quickly and economically, explained Jeff Lee, plant manager at Chequamegon Communications.
 
They were impressed by Entone’s (News - Alert) Hydra and its ease of integration with other popular middleware and DRM solutions. Entone’s gateway products and no-new wires model has enabled them to accelerate their IPTV deployment and gain a competitive edge.
 
Media routing technologies incorporated in Entone’s Connected Home Solutions enable users to access advanced TV services from any TV in the home without setting up new wiring or a set-top box at each TV.
 
For the Chequamegon project, subscriber homes only need a single gateway device to distribute live and recorded video services to all TVs in the home. This leads to cost savings in both capital and operating costs for the operator.
 
Chequamegon Communications joins the roster of more than 80 progressive operators deployed with Entone, said Steve McKay, CEO of Entone.
 
“We look forward to supporting them as they rollout other new emerging services to their growing subscriber base.”
 
Entone provides broadband video and home connectivity solutions. Their proven technology enables service operators to reliably deliver integrated video and broadband services using existing access and in-home networks. The company was in news earlier this year when their Hydra HD IP video gateway was picked by Valley TeleCom Group for their IPTV service rollout.
 
Valley Telecom Group delivers advanced digital telephone, Internet and IPTV services to its customers in Arizona and New Mexico.
