Lucent Technologies Unveils MiViewTV™, a Platform for Delivering Interactive Multimedia IPTV Services That "Blend" Video, Voice, and Internet Applications

Business Wire, Oct 10, 2006

Lucent Services also offers a variety of service packages designed to help operators quickly, and cost-effectively launch their IPTV services. For instance, IPTV Software Optimization services ensure that both server and client software architectures are aligned - using best-in-class tools and methodologies - to support operators' bandwidth and quality requirements.

Flexible Deployment Options

Because it features a modular architecture, MiViewTV can be deployed in a wide variety of configurations designed to address the unique market requirements of each operator, supporting service options from basic broadcast TV and video on demand to more sophisticated, personalized and interactive applications. This approach gives operators the flexibility to offer a basic service initially, and then expand their range of service offerings as customer demand and interest dictate.

With MiViewTV, operators also have the freedom to offer services in the way that best suits their business model and core competencies. For instance, some operators may choose to deploy a complete, end-to-end solution and manage it themselves. Other operators may choose to have Lucent deploy the solution and then manage the service on their behalf. MiViewTV can also be offered in a "hosted" configuration, freeing operators to focus on areas such as marketing and customer support while Lucent takes care of the back end operations and service delivery.
