KPN selects Kreatel IP-STB Solution for its IPTV Service

February 8th, 2006 -Kreatel Communications, leading provider of IP set-top solutions, has been selected by KPN to provide the IP-STB solution to their rollout of IPTV services.

With the launch of IPTV services, KPN completes its Triple Play TV offer. Currently, the company supplies more than 1.5 million customers with ADSL and consequently is the largest broadband provider in the Netherlands. Using ADSL2+ technology for distributing IPTV, KPN will challenge cable TV- and satellite broadcasters with premium content and interactive value-adding services like Delay TV and Video on Demand.

"Being a full communications service provider, KPN drives the market by continuously adding new attractive services. With the rollout of IPTV services, we reinforce our leadership in the ADSL market and we will provide our customers with a richer TV viewing experience that changes the way people watch TV. Kreatel's expertise from previous large-scale deployments and its strong commitment to KPN assure us in our choice of solution and its development," says Ludolf Rasterhoff, Director KPN TV & Media at KPN.
