NOVUS SELECTS ERICSSON MEDIAROOM FOR IPTV LAUNCH
September 27 2016 - 10:00AM
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has been selected by Novus Entertainment
Inc., a Canadian telecommunications company, to deploy its
end-to-end IPTV service. Novus will offer IP-based TV services,
powered by Ericsson Mediaroom, to selected IPTV ready buildings in
the greater Vancouver area starting October 1, 2016.
According to Ericsson’s TV & Media ConsumerLab Report, while
linear TV remains key, consumers have difficulty finding content to
watch on a daily basis and want a more personalized experience.
Ericsson Mediaroom, the most deployed IPTV platform globally,
enables operators to deliver high quality, engaging live, video on
demand and time-shifted television experiences with a new, visually
rich user interface and search and recommendation capabilities.
Co-Presidents Doug Holman and Donna Robertson of Novus say:
"Ericsson is a market leader in the IPTV industry, and our
investment in the best television delivery technology demonstrates
our commitment to delivering transformative solutions for our
customers and expanding our business. Novus’ pure fiber optic
network, combined with its metro Ethernet method of delivering
internet, is ideal for offering an IP-based TV service. The
transition to IPTV will enable Novus to deliver newly innovated and
personalized viewing experiences.”
Novus provides premium television, Internet and digital phone
services to thousands of residents in multi-dwelling unit buildings
throughout Metro Vancouver. Novus has been at the forefront of the
regulatory changes in Canada which have provided more affordable
and flexible television packages for its customers. Its new IPTV
service will further enhance its customers’ ability to customize
their services.
Graham Osborne, President, Ericsson Canada, says: "Ericsson
Mediaroom stands at the forefront of the IPTV industry in
empowering all operators, from small to the largest ones worldwide
with the tools they need to deliver standout viewing experiences.
Ericsson has a long history of deploying unparalleled TV services
with Canadian operators and we look forward to deploying Mediaroom
with Novus.”
Ericsson Mediaroom is a key part of Ericsson’s TV Platforms
portfolio which also includes Ericsson MediaFirst. Ericsson
MediaFirst is a next-generation, cloud-based Pay TV platform that
is used for delivering constantly optimized, device agnostic and
highly personalized TV experiences. Ericsson’s TV platforms
provide the best TV viewing experiences across all devices while
addressing various operator needs.
