CombiTel Powers Australia’s First Hybrid IPTV Service

CombiTel, a leading Australian IPTV systems integrator announced today that TransACT commenced commercial deployment of Australia’s first hybrid IPTV Service using a turnkey IPTV solution integrated by CombiTel.

It includes CombiTel set-top box software that has been developed specifically for TransACT and best-of-breed IPTV system components from CombiTel vendor partners. The initial roll-out, started in early 2010, delivers broadcast TV, Video On-Demand, TimeShift, Digital Video Recording and other advanced interactive services to TransACT subscribers in Canberra, with further expansion planned into other regions.
 
TransACT Chief Executive Officer Ivan Slavich said, “This roll-out is very significant for TransACT as it arms us with the next generation of IPTV technology, enabling advanced features for our video customer’s today, with more features to come in the near future. This builds on our market and technology leadership position in offering the most advanced IPTV and on-demand services in Australia. CombiTel has been an essential element to this success. Their proven IPTV integration capability, innovation and expert support has been invaluable.”
 
Eugene Razbash, CombiTel’s Managing Director said, “We were delighted last year when CombiTel was selected by TransACT to provide a hybrid IPTV delivery platform for this exciting project. Now we are very pleased to see the results of this hard work. This endorsement by TransACT is another testament to CombiTel’s market leadership and proven benefits of the relationship we have with TransACT.
