Siemens Communications has supplied a turn-key IPTV implementation to Deutsche Telekom’s T-Com subsidiary in Croatia.
The Croatian T-Com IPTV service, which is launching this month, provides users with an electronic program guide to select from 13 Croatian and around 40 international TV channels. A large number of movies are also available through video on demand.
The network is using MPEG4 encoding.
Siemens provided the entire IPTV system, including the management systems for all the applications, digital rights management, and the integration of different manufacturers’ set-top boxes. The middleware, which enables communication between the network and the set-top box, is provided by the Siemens subsidiary Myrio.
