(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Motorola and Deutsche Telekom announced a collaboration to deliver IPTV
in Germany and Deutsche Telekom will use Motorola's High Definition
(HD)-ready IPTV set-tops for its "T-Home Entertain" services.
According to the company, the collaboration will enable T-Home
customers to access a variety of multimedia applications in addition to
standard TV offerings using a high-quality, optimized Motorola set-top
which is already equipped for future services.
Within the scope of the contract, Motorola said it will provide T-Home
with its VIP1616E set-top -- known to T-Home customers as Media
Receiver 300 Type A. With the device, subscribers to T-Home's Entertain
service will be able to view premium sporting content in full HD.
Moreover, T-Home viewers can use the device's electronic program guide
to plan, record, and store what they want to watch.
"As our customers become ever more sophisticated in their media
consumption habits, we chose Motorola's set-tops to ensure we provide
our customers with the best possible TV service, on-demand and in High
Definition as well," explained Christian Illek, Board Member T-HOME,
Marketing.
"Consumers continuously demand more choice, convenience and control
over how they watch video content," said Joe Cozzolino, corporate vice
president and general manager, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility EMEA.
"Motorola's IPTV set-tops enable operators such as Deutsche Telekom to
capitalize on consumer demands and efficiently deliver compelling, rich
media services to their customers -- on their schedule. As a global
leader in digital entertainment and video delivery, we look forward to
working with Deutsche Telekom to provide innovative TV services that
consumers in Germany want while further extending our leadership in
IPTV."
