Cisco powers telco IPTV
Telcos could finally have an edge in the IPTV market.
Cisco Systems, the world’s leader in networking for the internet, is just the company to provide them with that edge.
The San Jose, California based company has developed technology that will allow the telcos to speed their channel changing.
It will also enhance the telcos ability to spot and fix problems on DSL lines. The repair technology automatically repairs errors by transmitting missing packets, which allows the STB to re-sequence the video without interruption. The entire repair cycle can take less than 100 milliseconds.
The new technology will give telcos a content delivery system as well.
The IPTV advancements developed by Cisco Systems use direct, two way communications between Cisco’s 7600 series routers and the subscribers set top boxes – manufactured by Scientific Atlanta. Scientific Atlanta, who was acquired by Cisco Systems just February of 2006, is changing the way consumers interact with their televisions.
Cisco designed the Visual Quality Experience (VQE) technology to improve video service and viewing experiences. It enables the network-based rapid channel-change.
Experts have predicted that while the Cisco System concepts should improve the IPTV in copper or hybrid copper/fiber plants, it shouldn’t be that valuable unless the vendor is already experiencing difficulties.
Cisco Systems was originally started by several scientists from Stanford University. It has grown to a world wide organization through its many innovations.
