Dialog Telecom has launched its new IPTV service using a video distribution network based on Scopus video networking solutions. At the core of Dialog's new IPTV video distribution network is the Scopus Eldorado NMS, which offers redundancy and a centralized view of the entire network to simplify troubleshooting and help Dialog engineers maintain consistent, high-quality transmissions for 24 channels. Scopus' IRD-2900 series integrated receiver decoders receive satellite video feeds carrying both Polish and international content. Scopus UE-9000 encoders then provide local content encoding for distribution of the video to viewers' homes over IP. The IPTV network was installed by SATLAN, a leading systems integrator serving the IPTV and cable industries in Poland.

Dialog launched its TV-over-broadband service in early 2008 with the goal of expanding its market share of broadband customers. Dialog chose Scopus following a pilot IPTV project that established the need for a more industrial-strength platform for encoding, multiplexing, and network management. The new IPTV service adds VOD and PVR services that, combined with IP telephony and high-speed Internet access, give Dialog a complete triple-play offering.
