Posted on: Wednesday, 24 October 2007, 09:00 CDT

ATLANTA, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Nokia Siemens Networks is debuting the latest version of its Home Entertainment solution for North American service providers at Telco TV in Atlanta this week. The highly regarded IPTV turn-key solution includes critical features like High-Definition television (HDTV) readiness and Personal Video Recording (PVR).

Solidified by its advanced new features, Nokia Siemens Networks' overall IPTV solution enables service providers to offer consumers rich functionality across a common, easy-to-use interface while also capturing the value of revenue-generating features like HDTV and PVR that provide opportunities for service differentiation.

Nokia Siemens Networks will also show that it is well positioned to deliver converged TV, a combination of Mobile TV and IPTV that lets users enjoy the same applications with the same look-and-feel both on their mobile phones and their TVs at home.

"IPTV is a key area of growth for Nokia Siemens Networks in the United States and Canada," said Sue Spradley, North America Region Head, Nokia Siemens Networks. "We've worked closely with our customers to determine what feature set is most important to them and we're confident we're delivering on that today. A strong feature set coupled with our ability to look ahead at the future of television and deliver on the promise of converged TV, positions Nokia Siemens Networks as a supplier of choice in providing an unbeatable TV experience."
