The world of IPTV deployments continues to grow and provide triple play services to consumers. These deployments are based on multiple technologies such as passive optical networks, point-to-point Ethernet, digital subscriber line, and multiservice access platform. Furthermore, these deployments provide opportunities and challenges for network equipment hardware and software vendors.

Frost & Sullivan finds that the World IPTV Access Infrastructure Market is poised for solid growth due to the increased activity in fiber roll-outs driven primarily by existing and potential consumer video services that will be best delivered via the IP infrastructure, and the intense competition among communication service providers.

The state of IPTV deployment in world markets is focused on two main drivers shaping the market and architectural preferences. The focus is on improvement of the copper to handle triple via DSL and the adoption of fiber to the home.

Upon receipt of the above information, an overview will be sent to you by e-mail.

Equipment vendors strive to provide a differentiating feature set, work closely with CSPs to enable IPTV roll out, and provide an end-to-end solution from home networking into the core of CSP networks. Another challenge is the requirement of multi-vendor solutions and the ability to pre-integrate solutions. The successful vendors, those who have managed to establish a customer base irrespective of vendor size, are addressing these challenges by participating actively in interoperability events and striking up partnerships that will help meet CSP’s end-to-end requirements in the access network.

Vendors providing solutions to CSP customers must engage with vendor partners to provide end-to-end solutions and provide their clients with pre-integrated solutions in order to bring services to market quickly.
