Motorola is accelerating the delivery of personalized media experiences for Farmers Telephone by supporting the delivery of IPTV services with Microsoft Mediaroom. Motorola will provide Farmers with its VIP1200 Series of IP set-tops and Microsoft’s Mediaroom video services platform, as well as systems integration professional services support.

As the world leader in advanced IP video solutions, Motorola is enabling Farmers to deliver exciting new revenue-generating IP-based TV and entertainment experiences, as well as greater control over capital and operating expenditures. As a result, Farmers customers will be able to enjoy enhanced picture quality and rich new features, including instant digital channel changes, picture-in-picture capabilities, whole home DVR with remote client scheduling, media sharing for pictures, and music on their TVs.

The implementation at Farmers will draw on Motorola’s extensive experience in deploying IPTV solutions from the digital headend to customer premises equipment, including Motorola’s VIP Series set-tops. This latest deployment at Farmers Telephone will additionally leverage Motorola’s already deployed MPEG-4 SD and HD encoders along with Motorola’s integrated receiver/ decoders.

Motorola’s IPTV Ecosystem Integration and Support Services enable seamless integration with existing network infrastructure and fast rollout of new, high-quality service offerings. The IPTV Ecosystem’s 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.
