Swisscom has opted for Tandberg Television’s iPlex UltraCompression IPTV head-end for its Bluewin IPTV service. Bluewin TV, which made its commercial debut in November 2006, currently offers subscribers over 120 TV channels, more than 80 radio stations, live sports coverage, up to 30 Teleclub channels and over 500 on-demand movies. Swisscom has been working with Tandberg Television since 2004, when Bluewin TV was being trialled, and the new head-end will allow for bandwidth improvements of up to 50%.
