UTStarcom has tied-up with Aksh Optifibre to deploy former's end-to-end RollingStream Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) solution in 20 cities on Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL)'s ADSL 2+ network. At present, ADSL 2+ network supports more than 75% of the active wirelines in India.
This IPTV offering will be made available to more than 250,000 BSNL broadband subscribers. As per a company communique, It will give both large cities and small towns the opportunity to experience interactive entertainment such as time-shifting, video-on-demand (VOD), interactive gaming, live television voting and distance learning programmes.
"Demand for IPTV in India is increasing exponentially and UTStarcom is supplying Aksh with the solutions and infrastructure it needs to continue that momentum. UTStarcom s understanding of the market and ability to produce cutting-edge technology allows Aksh to easily advance its IPTV strategy in India, and improve the viewing experience for our customers," said Kailash Choudhari, CMD, Aksh Optifibre.
Last month, UTStarcom and Aksh announced their collaboration to deliver high-quality IPTV services to subscribers of Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) in Mumbai, extending the reach of the operator's service area following its initial commercial IPTV deployment in Delhi.
"India is moving toward becoming a top IPTV market and companies such as Aksh and BSNL are making inroads to turn those aspirations into reality. RollingStream's unique end-to-end architecture allows it to be both flexible and long-reaching in scope to support deployments in a small populated town or an entire country or region. Through BSNL's network and UTStarcom technology, Aksh will build an iControl IPTV base that will change the way most of India utilizes television in their daily lives," said Vijay Yadav, VP and MD, South Asia, UTStarcom.
