Telkomvision Selects Ericsson To Enhance Quality
TV Services In Indonesia
·
TelkomVision, the
pay-TV service provider in Indonesia, has chosen
a number of Ericsson solutions for the
deployment of new TV services as it looks to
provide greater value and quality for its
subscribers across the country. The Ericsson
system will enable TelkomVision to launch new
channels across its satellite platform, and
provides provision for HD services in the
future.
“We are extremely
ambitious about accelerating the growth of our
subscriber base and are therefore looking to
deploy advanced services that are unique and
attractive to viewers,” said Elvizar KH,
President Director, TelkomVision. “Pay TV is
becoming more widespread throughout Indonesia,
but in order to ensure further uptake, we must
provide the greatest value possible. Ericsson’s
solutions enable us to do just that – we can
offer more channels than ever before, at even
greater quality than viewers are used to. In
addition, we now have the infrastructure to
support the introduction of HDTV in the future.
We’re delighted to take advantage of Ericsson’s
experience in enabling advanced TV services
around the world.”
TelkomVision, which
currently has 200,000 subscribers in Indonesia,
has selected a system comprising the Ericsson
Video Processor Chassis (VPC), EN8130 MPEG 4 AVC
encoders and MX8400 multiplexers. The resultant
bit-rate savings enable TelkomVision to roll out
36 new channels to its subscribers at optimum
quality.
“With such a large
capacity for growth in the Indonesian market,
pay-TV operators must ensure they are equipped
for rapid increases in demand, and with that,
higher expectations for quality services,” said
Staffan Pehrson, Vice President and Head of
Solution Area TV, Ericsson. “TelkomVision’s
growth plans require powerful, reliable systems
to be in place that ensure it can continue to
offer greater value to new and existing
subscribers. Ericsson has a long-established
history of providing next generation TV systems
throughout the Asia Pacific region and the rest
of the world, and we are pleased to provide
TelkomVision with the solutions it requires as
it builds upon its service offering.”
