Scientific-Atlanta introduces cable telephony application Integra5
Scientific Atlanta has introduced Integra5 Communications, the latest application developer in its CreativEdge Developer Program.
Cable operators can offer consumers this program over the Explorer set-top platform using the Integra5 caller ID application, a company release says. This new application allows cable subscribers to view caller ID information from their TV screen, without leaving their chair.
This feature is the first of a variety of telephony services Integra5 envisions for broadband deployment on Scientific-Atlanta Explorer set-tops.
The application is slated to be demonstrated at the SCTE Show from 5 June to 7 June in San Antonio, USA.
Michael P Harney, corporate senior vice-president says: “This is the first telephony application developer within the CreativEdge Developer Program.”
Adds Eyal Bartfeld, president and CEO of Integra5 Communications, Inc: “Visual telephony applications bring a whole new dynamic to the cable viewing experience. The Internet has conditioned us all to enjoy and expect convenient, instant access to information. The visual caller ID application brings a personal touch to the video and telephony experience, enabling consumers to make choices of what to do and when.”
