Optibase Ltd. has been awarded an additional contract by FPT Telecom, a leading multimedia and Internet service provider in Vietnam.

Extending the original IPTV solution that Optibase provided FPT last year, Optibase is now expanding its initial IPTV offering with a series of Optibase streaming platforms. Moreover, Optibase is also providing other key IPTV ecosystem components, enabling video on demand (VOD) and other consumer-empowering features, as part of the company's comprehensive end to end IPTV solutions.

Earlier this year, the FPT IPTV Center successfully launched its trial service digital television service using the Internet Protocol over a broadband connection. In conjunction with HCMC Television station (HTV) FPT streamed local and international channels telecast by HTV. The center was the first in the country to test IPTV services.

Mr. Mai Sung, Deputy Director General, FPT Communications / Mr. Hoang Anh Dung, Manager of Broadband Internet Service of FPT Telecom, said, "Optibase's solutions consistently provide us with the range of features, flexibility and scalability we require as a leader in the IPTV market in Vietnam. From internet access, to VOIP and of course IPTV and VOD, we are pleased to offer our subscribers full screen TV over broadband with DVD quality pictures, all enabled by Optibase's reliable, high quality solutions."

Danny Lustiger, CFO of Optibase, said, "This contract confirms the success of our initial deployment at FPT, and we look forward to growing together with FPT as the Vietnamese IPTV market expands. As Asia continues to lead in customer acquisition, our range of products and solutions for IPTV enable us to provide leading service providers such as FPT with the tools to ensure a reliable and versatile, personalized communications and entertainment experience."
