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.”
