UTStarcom’s RollingStream technology system will provide
Chongqing Radio and Television Group with a digital, high-definition and
bi-directional IPTV broadcasting control platform that will enhance the IPTV
services they provide to subscribers.
The platform will continue to expand as IPTV household
subscribers continue to increase in Chongqing city and throughout the regional
counties and districts that comprise Chongqing municipality.
“This win in Chongqing strengthens our position in
China’s IPTV market. We believe that an increasing number of IPTV broadcasting
platform tenders across the country reflects steady progress of China’s three
network convergence policy. We are well positioned to gain a significant share
of the 42 trial cities, which will enable us to capture additional business
opportunities from the national rollout expected to take place from 2013 to
2015,” Lu added.
Since 2010, UTStarcom has built nine IPTV broadcast
control platforms across China, specifically in Beijing, Hubei, Hunan,
Shandong, Shenzhen, Sichuan, Tianjin, Zhejiang and now Chongqing.
The company will deliver a packaged solution that
includes software and infrastructure development, content delivery network
(CDN) support, and IPTV, Internet TV and mobile TV integration support.
