Time Broadband Signs Deal With Amino

January 30, 2007 - Time Broadband Services, IPTV service provider in India, and Amino Communications, IPTV platform supplier, have announced a commercial deal to manufacture AmiNET125 H.264 AVC compliant Set-Top Boxes, for the Indian market, through Time Broadband’s overseas associate company, Dimensions Broadband UK.

This deal will enable TBSPL to execute mass deployments of its “MY TIME” IPTV Package with middleware provided by Kasenna. TBSPL has selected Verimatrix as their Content Protection provider, which provides session-based Water Marking to enable forensic piracy tracking.

Time Broadband plans to offer its IPTV services to customers across the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and parts of East Africa.

Mrs. Sujata Dev, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of TBSPL explains “STBs play the most critical role in the IPTV business, empowering the customer to choose interactive digital content on demand.  This relationship with a leading industry partner like Amino would further strengthen TBSPL in establishing the business matrix in the Indian market, capable of providing a total end-to-end CDN solution to Telecom Operator partners intending to launch IPTV”.

Bob Giddy, CEO of Amino Communications Ltd. stated: “This agreement gives Amino greater access to the tier-1 Telcos in India, a country with a population of over 1 billion having potential to be the fastest growing IPTV market.  We believe this deal validates our licensing model, enabling us to sell in key markets where large-scale manufacturing in the local plants is critical to success.”
