Ericsson has signed an agreement with the Portuguese triple play operator Sonaecom to provide and integrate its open, standards-based, end-to-end IPTV solution. It includes Ericsson’s new IMS-based IPTV middleware and enables the operator to deliver personalised and interactive TV to its subscribers.
Under this Prime Integrator agreement, Ericsson will upgrade Sonaecom’s IPTV system. This will bring together Ericsson solutions including its new IMS-based IPTV middleware and network infrastructure, as well as Tandberg Television’s HD and SD video processing platform. Deployment and a trial have started.
