October 24, 2007 – Amino has announced that Chilean telco Telefónica del Sur has selected its AmiNET110 IPTV set-top boxes to deliver its wireless IPTV service to customers.
The AmiNET110 is based on Amino’s well-known compact design, and is compatible with the MPEG-2 video compression standard, featuring an Ethernet input and flexible audio/video output with a USB interface for game controllers and other devices. The AmiNET110 STBs have been integrated with middleware provided by Minerva Networks and conditional access software from Latens.
Telefónica del Sur’s ‘WiTV’ IPTV service was launched last July and is being offered to customers on its broadband network between the southern Chilean cities of Concepción and Puerto Montt. WiTV offers 100 channels of standard definition television and includes Video on Demand and parental control options.
“When we set out to bring wireless IPTV services to our customers, it was critical that we selected the best solution providers," said Jorge Atton, CEO of Telefónica del Sur. "Amino not only is the IPTV expert, the company’s STBs are easy to use, flexible, reliable and intelligent. As we continue to grow into other markets and our customers demand more advanced IPTV features, we’re confident that Amino will provide exactly what we need.”
“As a global provider of IPTV solutions, we are thrilled to provide the centerpiece for the first wirelessly connected homes in Chile and look forward to more opportunities throughout the region,” said Sandra Conejos, Director of Sales – East Coast & Latin America for Amino.
