Nsight Telservices to Offer Nortel's IPTV Solution
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Nsight Telservices, a midwestern U.S. regional telecommunications
provider, is increasing entertainment options for its customers with an
IPTV solution from Nortel.
Nsight Digital TV provides television programming and local content
through its broadband network, and a path to new blended interactive
services such as combining communications with entertainment.
Upon completion in August, the IPTV solution will constitute the third
segment of Nsight's triple play service delivery strategy, adding TV to
its existing telephone, Internet and mobility services.
"As a regional service provider, we're constantly trying to stay ahead
of larger, national brands by listening and reacting quickly to the
feedback we receive from our customers about the services they want to
receive," said Brad Hansen, vice president and chief operating officer
of fixed operations at Nsight Telservices. "Nortel took the guesswork
out of our IPTV deployment and made a complex solution simple, while
enabling us to maximize our existing infrastructure. They designed a
comprehensive solution that allows us to meet the needs of our
customers and deliver a new set of services we can feel confident about
and that will net positive results quickly."
"IPTV allows providers to offer a rich new set of revenue-generating
services that provide critical differentiation in the market," said
Sameer Sheth, general manager, Video Solutions, Nortel. "Nortel is
helping to alleviate the complexity and technical hurdles involved in
deploying IPTV by delivering service providers a pre-tested,
pre-configured solution that can be quickly integrated into existing
networks."
The new IPTV service will be available to Nsight Telservices
subscribers in Northeast Wisconsin in September. Nsight provides a full
range of telecommunications services including wireless, business and
residential telephone, long distance, internet, web hosting and tower
erection through its sister companies Cellcom, Northeast Telephone
Company and NetNet.
Nortel's IPTV solution includes Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600,
Nortel Application Switch 2424, Nortel VPN Router 600, as well as
elements from an IPTV ecosystem. The IPTV ecosystem includes Avail
Media Connect and Edge platforms for the provision of content, Minerva
Networks' iTVManager middleware and Widevine Technologies' content
protection.
Nortel will also provide Nsight Telservices with Global Services for
IPTV including project management, engineering, integration,
installation, technical support and assisted operation. Nortel's Global
Services for IPTV are designed to accelerate time-to-revenue with a
proven methodology from inception to solution, and to reduce complexity
with a single point-of-contact across multiple suppliers.
