Harmonic has entered into an agreement with Deutsche Telekom’s affiliates in Eastern and Southern Europe.
As a result, they will be able to deliver hundreds of IPTV and OTT video channels, using less bandwidth and with a low total cost of ownership (TCO) and industry-leading video quality.
Harmonic’s solutions support all the key emerging video applications, including HD and Ultra HD broadcasting, linear ad insertion, VOD and multiscreen delivery.
Commenting on the development, Thomas Staneker, head of Deutsche Telekom’s International TV Service Center, Hungary, said: “We are delighted to work with a leader of digital TV technology and to benefit from the vast amount of worldwide experience Harmonic has collected over many years”.
Ian Graham, VP of sales, EMEA, at Harmonic, added: “By deploying a comprehensive solution from Harmonic, Deutsche Telekom’s affiliates in Eastern and Southern Europe will truly transform the way they deliver content.
“As video content and service providers around the world look to roll out services to different screens faster, cheaper and with better quality, Harmonic is the only vendor that answers all of their complex content delivery requirements — while lowering their TCO.”
Harmonic will be present at IBC at Stand 1.B20.
