Dialog Telecom Selects Scopus Solutions to Power its New IPTV Distribution Network in Poland
(NASDAQ: SCOP) today announced that Dialog Telecom,
independent telecommunications operator, has launched its new IPTV service
using a video distribution network based on Scopus video networking solutions.
At the core of Dialog’s new IPTV video distribution network is the Scopus
Eldorado NMS (Network Management System), which offers redundancy and a
centralized view of the entire network to simplify troubleshooting and help
Dialog engineers maintain consistent, high-quality transmissions for 24
channels. Scopus’ IRD-2900 series integrated receiver decoders receive
satellite video feeds carrying both Polish and international content. Scopus
UE-9000 encoders then provide local content encoding for distribution of the
video to viewers’ homes over IP. The IPTV network was installed by SATLAN, a
leading systems integrator serving the IPTV and cable industries in
Dialog launched its TV-over-broadband service in early 2008 with the goal
of expanding its market share of broadband customers. Dialog chose Scopus
following a pilot IPTV project that established the need for a more
industrial-strength platform for encoding, multiplexing, and network
management. The new IPTV service adds video on demand (VOD) and personal
video recorder (PVR) services that, combined with IP telephony and high-speed
Internet access, give Dialog a complete triple-play offering.
“The reliability and high performance of the Scopus equipment have given
us a true competitive advantage as we bring our triple-play offering to the
market,” said
“Another large advantage is the availability of Scopus’ local integration
partner, Satlan, who delivered the technology components and got the system
up and running very quickly.”
“Dialog recognized that it needed to implement a bulletproof networking
infrastructure in order to deliver the highest-quality IPTV services to
viewers – and we are happy that Scopus solutions were able to meet the
requirements,” said
marketing. “As IPTV becomes more widespread for high-quality, cost-effective
delivery of video content, we are dedicated to providing telecom operators a
competitive edge through our robust family of video delivery and networking
products.”
