Andorran telco STA selects Comverse IPTV solution

February 4, 2008 – Comverse has announced that Andorran telco STA has selected its IPTV solution to complete the operator’s triple-play offering.

“The deployment of IPTV services is part of a strategic move by STA to enrich our customer services and create long-term profitability,” said Jaume Salvat Font, CEO of STA.  “We selected Comverse for their extensive expertise in IP technologies, in particular a deep understanding of IPTV and telecommunications from both the operator and subscriber perspective, and for excellence in integration of their applications with our existing system.”

STA’s new triple-play offering will include IPTV services with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 encoding, a conditional access system (CAS) and digital rights management (DRM), delivered over the telco’s fibre-to-the-home network (FTTH).

“STA is a longstanding customer of our messaging services and was an early adopter of our voicemail,” said Benny Einhorn, President of Comverse EMEA.  “It has been exciting to work with them again in the flourishing area of IPTV.”
