Entone's Hydra HD IP video gateway and Amulet HD IPTV receiver have been selected by Panhandle Telephone Cooperative for their HD IPTV service rollout. Panhandle Telephone Cooperative is a progressive IPTV and digital cable provider with "quad-play" residential and business communication services throughout the Oklahoma Panhandle and portions of the Texas Panhandle. Services include local and long-distance telephone, DITV and digital cable TV with 140+ channels, TV web surfing and DVR, high-speed Internet and wireless service with free mobile-to-mobile.
Hydra HD IP video gateway and Amulet IPTV receiver are part of Entone's Connected Home Solution that eliminates the need for multiple set-top boxes or new home wiring to deliver IPTV services. They also support whole home networking technologies such as HomePNA, HomePlug, and 802.11n which enable high speed delivery of rich media throughout the home using existing coax wiring. This dramatically improves the business case for IPTV services by reducing the installation costs and eliminating the complexities associated with IP video deployment.
