Entone unveils FusionTV, a managed service that provides telco operators with the ability to offer "over the top" content blended with linear HDTV programming. With this offering, subscribers get the best of both worlds -- the timeliness and quality of live television and the flexibility of online media.

FusionTV is a Hybrid TV service that combines linear HDTV programming and OTT media into a single, unified user experience. With FusionTV, linear HDTV is delivered by traditional programming sources such as cable TV, IPTV, or OTA broadcasts. Live HDTV programming is complemented with online media services such as video on demand, music streaming, photo sharing, social media, and other popular web content and services.

The IPTV Edition of FusionTV is based on Entone's recently announced WebVOD solution which allows IPTV operators to offer web-based VOD services with a simple software download to Entone's media hubs. The Broadband TV Edition creates a completely new service model for telco operators that have not deployed IPTV, either entirely or in certain markets. With FusionTV, telcos can now bundle a rich array of video services with their broadband Internet service without the cost of deploying a full-scale IPTV system.

With FusionTV, subscribers receive:

• High-speed Internet
• Live HDTV programming
• Full-featured digital video recorder & electronic program guide
• Web media services (VOD, photo sharing, music streaming, etc.)
• Personal media sharing within a home network
• Place shifting of content throughout the home or on-the-go

FusionTV is currently being deployed and trialed by numerous video service operators and is immediately available in all U.S. markets.

Entone will be demonstrating FusionTV at the TelcoTV show in Las Vegas from November 10 - 11 (Entone booth #443).
