| Motorola supports largest video over DSL deployment Motorola, Inc. customer Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. (MTS) has implemented the largest single video over DSL deployment in North America. MTS, one of Canada's leading communication providers, welcomed its 50, 000th customer to its MTS TV service in November 2005. Since deploying Motorola's Multi-Service Access Platform in 2003 to support the delivery of advanced triple-play services such as multi-stream digital television, broadband Internet, and integrated on-screen telephony, MTS has been able to easily scale its service to provide a wide array of digital entertainment offerings to a subscriber base that's now grown to over 50, 000 customers. Leveraging nearly a decade of successful wireline carrier triple-play deployments, Motorola also assisted MTS with a variety of support services that create greater efficiencies and competitiveness that assist with the design and deployment of highly complex solutions ready to serve scalable broadcast, interactive and on-demand services. "Our MTS TV service gives customers a choice in video entertainment providers in the Winnipeg area. Customer growth comes by establishing a compelling and differentiated portfolio -- something the MTS TV service offers our customers, " said Cheryl Barker, President, MTS (Manitoba). "Motorola has significant experience in deploying scalable video entertainment networks and they continue to listen, learn and deliver the solutions MTS TV requires to give value to our customers." MTS TV currently reaches more than 87 percent of Winnipeg, exceeding its goal of covering 85 percent of the city by the end of 2005. The all-digital service features more than 200 digital television channels, video-on-demand, interactive services, music, and comprehensive channel packaging. "Motorola is committed to giving customers the distinct advantages that MTS is now realizing, including the ability to quickly deploy technologies and services to easily scale to growing subscriber demands, " said Tom Mader (http://www.motorola.com/mediacenter/bios/0,, 1081, 00.html ), corporate vice president and general manager, Motorola Wireline Networks. "MTS' explosive growth is a testament to its ability to successfully manage a rapidly growing video entertainment services business and respond to changing consumer demands by continuing to introduce additional competitive and revenue-generating services to the marketplace." Today, Motorola's end-to-end Multi-Service Access solution's proven deployment economics are assisting telecommunication service providers in delivering nearly a million streams of standards-based digital video services to subscribers throughout North America. As Motorola continues to develop differentiated solutions for its market leading Multi-Service Access Platform, customers will benefit from access to additional next-generation advanced services and capabilities. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
