Ericsson IPTV Solution – enabling a new kind of IPTV
Ericsson provides a pre-integrated, end-to-end solution for IPTV delivery that enables best-in-class
TV and VOD while preparing the way for the Individual TV Experience (the next generation of TV
that emphasizes personalized and connected entertainment experiences). The Ericsson IPTV
Solution combines core Ericsson solutions with interoperable third-party products as part of a
complete and standards-friendly ecosystem that gives customers a choice of best-in-class, fully-
tested products.
The Ericsson IPTV Solution includes middleware, video processing (including advanced
compression), video-on-demand back-office solutions, asset management for management of on-
demand content, media servers for on-demand content distribution, CA/DRM, QoS monitoring, TV
applications, IPTV Home Environment (including set-top boxes) and open interfaces for charging,
provisioning and operation & maintenance.
A core component of the Ericsson IPTV Solution is the Ericsson IPTV Middleware - the world's first
commercially available IPTV middleware that is integrated with IMS. A next-generation IPTV
service delivery platform, gives operators the flexibility and scalability they need to create, trial and
deploy a personalized and interactive TV experience for their customers. The middleware enables
IPTV providers to offer a complete TV package that includes interactive, mobile and on-demand
functionality.
Because Ericsson IPTV Middleware is based on open standards, it drives down the cost of
deploying innovative applications for non-IMS IPTV environments, IMS IPTV networks and
combined IMS/non-IMS environments. With this solution, advanced TV applications that
differentiate IPTV services can be deployed more quickly and at lower cost than has been possible
using ‘vertical’ non-standards middleware.
Building on Ericsson’s long standing commitment to standards and taking an Individual TV
Experience to a consumer mass market, the Ericsson IPTV Middleware support
