UTStarcom agrees second IPTV solution contract in India

by Lin Freestone

UTStarcom, Inc., a global leader in IP-based, end-to-end networking solutions and services, has agreed a contract to supply its industry-leading RollingStream end-to-end IPTV solution to Bharti Airtel, one of India's leading integrated telecommunications service providers with more than 46 million customers.

UTStarcom's RollingStream solution will enable Bharti Airtel to offer a completely new service to its customers consisting of live broadcast television, time-shifted TV and video-on-demand bundled with the operator's existing broadband and voice services, which can all be consolidated into a single bill sent to customers at the end of each month.

Airtel expects to offer this new service bundle to customers in Gurgaon and the National Capital Region by the end of the year. The service will also be introduced in a phased manner across eight additional regions in the country.

Earlier this year, UTStarcom announced a three-year contract through its collaboration with Aksh Optifibre Ltd. to deploy its RollingStream solution with Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd in India.

UTStarcom also has commercial IPTV deployments with China Telecom and China Netcom in China and Softbank in Japan. The company is a global leader in IP-based, end-to-end networking solutions and international service and support. Its broadband, wireless, and handset solutions are sold to operators in both emerging and established telecommunications markets around the world.

Demand for IPTV is expected to grow significantly in the Asia Pacific region. IPTV subscribers in this region are expected to reach more than 27 million by 2013, with China and India being the high-growth markets.
