Motorola Accelerates IPTV Deployments With Integration and Support Services for Service Providers

IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Services built on Motorola’s leadership and expertise in IP video technologies

HORSHAM, Pa. – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the Motorola IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Service, a suite of services to help service providers cost-effectively design, deploy and integrate IPTV systems. The IPTV services suite is the latest addition to Motorola’s comprehensive IPTV portfolio, which is designed to help service providers quickly roll out new products and services.

Motorola’s IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Services can help tailor an IPTV deployment for the needs of each service provider. Building on industry-leading expertise in video and IPTV technologies, Motorola’s professional design, installation and integration services can enable seamless integration with existing network infrastructure and fast rollout of new, high-quality service offerings. Benefits include:

* Streamlined operations — A single point of contact and accountability for solution design, deployment and integration across partners and platforms
* Lower costs — Eliminating the need for dedicated resources reduces costs on deployment and integration for service providers.
* Quality assurance — Optimizing operations and ensuring service quality can ultimately increase customer loyalty.


“The integration of products and platforms from different vendors is a major challenge for service providers and operators moving into the IPTV market,” said Michael Laraia, senior director, Customer Program Operations and Professional Services, Home & Networks Mobility, Motorola. “Motorola’s IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Service is focused on tailoring IPTV systems to the unique business needs of each service provider. It’s another layer of expertise that our leadership in IP video technologies allows us to offer our customers, from design to deployment and management.”

Motorola recently completed an IPTV Ecosystem Integration project with Connexion Technologies. Acting as the overall system integrator, Motorola provided a single point of interface for Connexion during its rollout of IPTV services, working with all vendor partners and overseeing the deployment and integration of middleware, conditional access and video on demand (VOD) systems into the Motorola Headend environment.

“Deployment and integration of IPTV technology can delay service launch and cost additional money and resources if you don’t have a trusted partner to design the system right from the start,” said Glen Lang, founder of Connexion Technologies. “Motorola and its broad expertise and capabilities served a critical role in the successful rollout of IPTV services for our customers.”

Motorola’s IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Services leverage Motorola’s industry-leading portfolio of IPTV products, including the VIP set-top platform that encompasses a robust line of all-IP or hybrid high-definition and standard-definition set-tops with built-in digital video recorders for diversified programming options, interactivity and video-on-demand for TV viewers. The VIP set-tops also support a variety of home-networking interfaces and the KreaTV™ application development environment, which enable features such as advanced interactive applications and third-party middleware solutions.
