Tut Systems and Teleste Partner on TV and VOD

Tut Systems and Teleste announced today a joint marketing and sales agreement to offer standards-based video solutions for FTTP/FTTH, Fiber to the Curb (FTTC), and hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks.
The joint system architecture, which is based on the global DVB-C open transmission standard for digital TV, optimizes the use of RF-based analog, RF-based digital, and IP-based digital TV channels over fiber and cable networks. The architecture is an extension of Tut Systems' IP TV over xDSL and Teleste's analog and digital product lines aimed at HFC environments. Under the partnership, Tut Systems will focus its marketing and sales efforts for this solution within North America and Teleste will focus its efforts on opportunities in Europe and the Middle East. The companies will take a joint approach to markets in Asia.


The joint Tut System + Teleste solution has already been deployed at Atlantic Telephone, a North Carolina telephone cooperative of over 35,000 members.


The companies are actively working with and openly inviting additional manufacturers of DVB digital set-top boxes, conditional access systems, and FTTH/HFC access systems to participate in this drive to leverage the open DVB-C standard.
