June 08 2010 - 5:30AM
Business Wire
BigBand Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBND), a leader in digital video
networking, today announced it has expanded its presence in the
European cable market to deliver IP video solutions through a
reseller partnership with Technetix Group, a leading European
broadband cable and telecommunications equipment supplier.
Through this partnership, the companies can provide a turn-key,
integrated approach to IP delivery that includes BigBand’s vIP
PASS™, an end-to-end video IP delivery platform, and CVEx™
(Converged Video Exchange), the industry’s first intelligent
software control plane that facilitates convergence between
different video applications and end-user screens. BigBand’s vIP
PASS is designed to allow service providers to achieve IPTV goals
with a faster time to market and lower operating and capital
expense than with other transport alternatives.
“We’re pleased to work with BigBand to address the market demand
for high-quality, interactive, on-demand video delivery, which is
growing at an exceptional pace,” said Paul Broadhurst, CEO of
Technetix Group. “We can now offer our clients a more turn-key
approach with proven video solutions that capitalize on existing
infrastructure to help them roll-out new services quickly and
cost-effectively. BigBand has proven, reliable, high-quality video
solutions and we are delighted to partner with them.”
“IP video continues to proliferate worldwide as the number of
broadband connections grows, bandwidth speeds are getting faster
and mobile connectivity drives towards ubiquity. Consumers,
especially younger generations, are experiencing what is possible
with the rapidly expanding list of IP-enabled TVs, PCs, and
handheld consumer electronics devices,” said Ray Fitzgerald, Vice
President of Global Cable Sales of BigBand Networks. “Our
partnership with Technetix will expand our presence in Europe to
offer proven solutions that give service providers the ability to
quickly introduce and monetize new services in a highly competitive
environment and deliver a superior end user viewing
experience.”
