PR Newswire (US)
TEL AVIV, Israel, March 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scopus Video
Networks (NASDAQ:SCOP) today announced that Dialog Telecom,
Poland's second-largest independent telecommunications operator,
has launched its new IPTV service using a video distribution
network based on Scopus video networking solutions. At the core of
Dialog's new IPTV video distribution network is the Scopus Eldorado
NMS (Network Management System), which offers redundancy and a
centralized view of the entire network to simplify troubleshooting
and help Dialog engineers maintain consistent, high-quality
transmissions for 24 channels. Scopus' IRD-2900 series integrated
receiver decoders receive satellite video feeds carrying both
Polish and international content. Scopus UE-9000 encoders then
provide local content encoding for distribution of the video to
viewers' homes over IP. The IPTV network was installed by SATLAN, a
leading systems integrator serving the IPTV and cable industries in
Poland. Dialog launched its TV-over-broadband service in early 2008
with the goal of expanding its market share of broadband customers.
Dialog chose Scopus following a pilot IPTV project that established
the need for a more industrial-strength platform for encoding,
multiplexing, and network management. The new IPTV service adds
video on demand (VOD) and personal video recorder (PVR) services
that, combined with IP telephony and high-speed Internet access,
give Dialog a complete triple-play offering. "The reliability and
high performance of the Scopus equipment have given us a true
competitive advantage as we bring our triple-play offering to the
market," said Piotr Mazurkiewicz, president of the board of Dialog
Telecom. "Another large advantage is the availability of Scopus'
local integration partner, Satlan, who delivered the technology
components and got the system up and running very quickly." "Dialog
recognized that it needed to implement a bulletproof networking
infrastructure in order to deliver the highest-quality IPTV
services to viewers - and we are happy that Scopus solutions were
able to meet the requirements," said Shimon Shanor, Scopus' vice
president of sales and marketing. "As IPTV becomes more widespread
for high-quality, cost-effective delivery of video content, we are
dedicated to providing telecom operators a competitive edge through
our robust family of video delivery and networking products." About
