True Digital Entertainment Company Limited is a subsidiary of True Corporation Plc, Thailand's only fully integrated communications company and leader in convergence lifestyle solutions. As the leader in broadband service in Thailand, True has launched Thailand's IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service that will revolutionize the TV-viewing experience in Bangkok for its broadband subscribers. With QualiTVision, CASCADE's IPTV Solution, True's subscribers will be able to enjoy DVD-quality movies and TV programming via broadband connections to their homes.

CASCADE Limited designed, built and maintains PCCW's now TV network, the world's largest IPTV deployment. now TV has attracted over 549,000 subscribers in Hong Kong since its launch in 2003. CASCADE's QualiTVision, the proven IPTV solution used by now TV, gives True a self-contained turnkey solution with unlimited scalability. True currently dominates Bangkok's broadband market and will now be able to offer IPTV services, such as broadcast TV and video-on-demand to increase its revenue streams. With IPTV and its added value services, True is targetting over half a million broadband customers by the end of 2006.

CASCADE's complete IPTV solution employs network-based conditional access (network CA), which unlike traditional content security and anti-piracy mechanisms that rely on smartcards or software in set-top boxes, cannot be easily compromised. Since the "right-to-see" is built directly into the broadband network equipment on True's premises, it gives subscribers and content providers the highest level of security beyond the reach of unauthorized access.

CASCADE's feature-rich middleware uses state-of-the-art technology and enables True to implement flexible marketing strategies to fit its business needs. Using the very latest MPEG-4 compression technology, subscribers to True's new IPTV service will be able to enjoy DVD-quality video delivered to their homes, even at a transmission bandwidth of only 2 Mbps. CASCADE's QualiTVision solution offers the highest quality technology and gives True a customized and complete solution to fit their specifications. CASCADE was chosen by True among four leading vendors.
