Optibase has completed the installation of what is the first turnkey MPEG-4 IPTV solution in the Baltic Republics for Lattelecom, the incumbent Latvian telco. It will allow the telco, which is 49% indirectly owned by TeliaSonera, to offer a range of interactive services on its IPTV platform. Lattelecom began this year with 106,000 Internet and 605,000 telephony customers. Its IPTV service, which according to the telco already has 45,000 subscribers, employs equipment from several companies including ORCA (middleware), WideVine (conditional access) and Kreatel (set-top boxes), as well as a solution developed by Hannu Pro.
