Chunghwa Telecom Extends Multimedia On Demand Service Using Alcatels Open Media Suite18 January 2005
It is one of the largest production deployments using the Alcatel Open
Media Suite, and marks the biggest commercial IPTV deployment for broadcast TV
and Video on Demand in the Asia Pacific region using a commercial application
platform.
Chunghwa Telecom is the most experienced and largest integrated

"With Alcatel's Open Media Suite we have the ability to strengthen our
leadership position in the telecom industry in Taiwan. Phase 2 of the MOD
service is expected to gain us 300,000 more subscribers in 2005. We are
planning to gradually extend the service to the central and southern part of
Taiwan in the first half year," said Mr. Ho-Chan Tan, Chairman, Chunghwa
Telecom. "Deploying IPTV services for our customers with an end user
experience that is exactly tuned to the local media culture gives us the
unique advantage we need to stay ahead of the competition. Moving into the
video space allows us to investigate new and interesting service offerings to
retain and grow our customer base."
"Alcatel has long been a key contributor to the development of broadband
in Taiwan. Leveraging on our 1.26 million DSL lines at Chunghwa Telecom, we
have deployed our proven Open Media Suite to support the enhancement of its
MOD service, representing a step further towards building a user-centric
broadband world in Taiwan," said Ivan Verbesselt, vice president of Alcatel's
Information, Communication, and Entertainment business activity.
The winning solution includes Alcatel's IPTV Open Media Platform and Open
Video Server, integrated with a leading edge MPEG-2/MPEG-4 set top box from
Acer and Foxconn together with an ANT Fresco browser, as well as an integrated
Widevine security solution. Acer and Alcatel are doing the end-to-end system
integration.
