Inverto Ships Entropic-Based Unicable Multi-Switch to a Major Satellite Operator in India for Support of Multi-Dwelling Unit ...
January 20 2014 - 9:30PM
22nd Convergence India 2014 Conference -- Entropic
(Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the
connected home, and Inverto Digital Labs, a leader in broadcast
reception and streaming products, today announced a major direct
broadcast satellite (DBS) operator in India has deployed Inverto's
Quad Unicable™ multi-switch based on Entropic's proven,
third-generation Channel Stacking Switch (CSS), the EN5288. By
implementing Inverto's Quad Unicable multi-switch, the operator can
enhance TV viewing experiences of Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU)
subscribers by enabling multiple tuners and viewing locations off a
single-cable run from the trunk system that already exists in the
building.
Inverto's Unicable multi-switch with Entropic CSS technology
enables the DBS operator to significantly reduce satellite
installation costs by sending multiple video streams from multiple
satellites into and around the home – over a single-cable feed.
This simplified cabling approach allows the operator to deploy
set-top boxes (STBs), with multiple tuner capabilities, in multiple
rooms, without adding additional cabling by using the existing
single-cable run from the MDU's trunk.
The new multi-switch leverages the industry standard CENELEC
EN50494, which facilitates the delivery of broadcast programming to
a maximum of eight STBs over a single coaxial cable. This in turn
allows operators who have incorporated the standard into their STBs
ahead of deployment to future-proof subscribers' in-home networks
allowing seamless deployment of DVR and multi-room solutions – at
any time – with CSS products.
"We are working with a major India-based DBS operator who is
taking a unique single-cable architecture approach to delivering
entertainment and advanced services into the homes of its
subscribers," said Gil Laifer, Senior Director of Products, Inverto
Digital Labs. "By implementing our Unicable products with
Entropic's advanced CSS technology, operators can increase average
revenue per user, improve subscriber satisfaction and have the
ability to reduce churn. Specifically, Unicable products allow
upgrading services to users in multi-dwelling units without the
need to change the single cabling architecture which is prevalent
across the Indian market. These savings for the operator can be of
a significant order."
Entropic's EN5288 is a widely-deployed CSS solution that
significantly reduces both the cost and complexity of direct
broadcast satellite (DBS) installations. Designed to address both
MDU and Single Family Unit (SFU) requirements, the integrated
circuit solution offers the lowest bill of material (BoM) component
count, smallest package size and adds key advancements in
power-efficiency.
"Our CSS technology continues to be the global standard for DBS
single-cable architectures," said Al Servati, vice president,
Marketing, Entropic. "Deploying our technology with long-term
partner Inverto in the India satellite market is proof that service
providers recognize the opportunity to deliver more entertainment
and increase service offerings – all through the simplified
single-cable approach."
