Case Study: OTE raises the bar for IPTV in Greece with Ericsson

OTE raises the bar for IPTV services in Greece

OTE, Greece, the country’s leading telecommunications provider, wanted to launch IPTV services to strengthen its market position, improve its image among consumers, and differentiate itself in a mature telecom market. Ericsson partnered with OTE as prime integrator to support the rollout of its conn-x TV service, an IPTV package delivered over fixed-line broadband.

Ericsson implemented a tailored IPTV solution including systems integration and solution management, IPTV middleware, a content distribution platform, conditional access/digital rights management, headend and set-top box integration, and a customized GUI. The result was a successful commercial launch of conn-x TV with digital TV, games, sports, interactive guide, recording, and video-on-demand features, plus very positive early customer feedback and a future-proof platform that positions OTE for new revenue-generating services and expansion to Greece’s largest cities.
