Motorola announces the Motorola IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Service, a suite of services to help service providers cost-effectively design, deploy and integrate IPTV systems. The IPTV services suite is the latest addition to Motorola's comprehensive IPTV portfolio, which is designed to help service providers quickly roll out new products and services.

Motorola's IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Services can help tailor an IPTV deployment for the needs of each service provider.

Benefits include:

• Streamlined operations - A single point of contact and accountability for solution design, deployment and integration across partners and platforms
• Lower costs - Eliminating the need for dedicated resources reduces costs on deployment and integration for service providers.
• Quality assurance - Optimizing operations and ensuring service quality can ultimately increase customer loyalty.

Motorola recently completed an IPTV Ecosystem Integration project with Connexion Technologies. Acting as the overall system integrator, Motorola provided a single point of interface for Connexion during its rollout of IPTV services, working with all vendor partners and overseeing the deployment and integration of middleware, conditional access and VOD systems into the Motorola Headend environment.

Motorola's IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Services leverage Motorola's industry-leading portfolio of IPTV products, including the VIP set-top platform that encompasses a robust line of all-IP or hybrid high-definition and standard-definition set-tops with built-in digital video recorders for diversified programming options, interactivity and video-on-demand for TV viewers. The VIP set-tops also support a variety of home-networking interfaces and the KreaTV application development environment, which enable features such as advanced interactive applications and third-party middleware solutions.
