Norwegian ISP selects Dreampark middleware

August 19, 2008 - Norwegian Internet service provider RingNett AS has selected IPTV middleware from Swedish firm Dreampark, becoming its seventh client in Scandinavia and one of the first to deploy some of the new features in Dreamgallery 3.4.

These new features include live MMS to the TV, scheduling of PVR recordings via mobile phones or a Web interface, pre-paid VOD, Dreamlets (small JavaScript objects pushed to one or several STBs using a multicast server) and RSS feeds support. The latest version of Dreamgallery also enables RingNett AS to offer white label IPTV services to other network owners and service providers, enabling them to deliver their own IPTV services.

"Based on our Scandinavian presence, Dreampark is a natural choice for RingNett," said Sondre B. Rabbe, project manager at RingNett. "Their middleware solution provides great flexibility and offers continuously evolving excellent and competitive interactive features to meet the also constantly growing customer demands. It's great for us also as a "white label"/no brand provider to have the ability to easily customise the middleware for our partner companies and for this Dreampark are up to the task."

Dreampark's other customers in Scandinavia include Canal Digital, Dansk Bredbånd, FastTV, iVisjon, Smile Content and Viasat.
