MUMBAI: As IPTV demand continues to grow, Motorola demonstrated its IP video solutions portfolio, which includes MPEG-4 encoding equipment, optical access and connected home devices, such as advanced IP set tops and residential gateways, at the TelcoTV show in Atlanta.

Motorola enables telecom companies around the world to deliver quality voice, ultra-broadband data and next generation video solutions to their consumers. In September, the company announced it had shipped 2 million IP set top boxes around the world.

Motorola corporate VP, GM home and networks mobility Doug Means says, “Through innovative technology development and a number of strategic acquisitions, we have strengthened our position as a leader in the IP video markets around the globe. For the service provider wanting to deliver a range of video content and services into the home, Motorola offers a comprehensive spectrum of IPTV technologies and applications.”

Motorola demonstrated the newly announced Motorola DSR-6000 series receivers, the first of a new generation of receiver-transcoders that allow networks to use both MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-2 compression technologies. Building on the success of Motorola’s award-winning secure content delivery systems, the DSR-6000 series enhances network efficiency for both programmers and operators by reducing bandwidth requirements by up to 75 per cent from traditional MPEG-2 delivery.

Tying the headend to the home is Motorola’s Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) solution. As high-definition and on-demand service channels and usage rates increase, service providers will need next generation access solutions that can deliver tens and hundreds of megabytes of ultra-broadband throughput to every subscriber.

Motorola also showcased its IPTV set tops, including the VIP 1216 and the VIP 1920 (Motorola’s KreaTV-enabled software – Motorola’s flexible Linux-based set top platform which enables the rapid development of rich, interactive user experiences in a range of set top implementations devices) and the VIP1216 (Microsoft-enabled software).

Motorola presented its CherryPicker ™solutions for MPEG-4 and MPEG2 AVC video processing software applications such as seamless splicing and graphical overlays. The CherryPicker solution delivers a suite of digital video processing applications to optimize bandwidth and for targeted advertising and content.

Also demonstrated at the event was the recently announced Netopia 2210 ADSL2/2+ Gateway. Designed to deliver cost-effective and reliable high-speed Internet access to single-PC residential subscribers, its competitive price, low weight, small size and ease of use contribute to a low cost of deployment, enabling carriers to expand into new low-end markets and helping to increase margins in existing market segments.
