Taiwan's Chunghwa Implements Orca for IPTV

Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom has purchased an additional 10,000 licenses of Orca's RiGHTv IPTV middleware solution as it continues to roll out Multimedia on Demand (MOD) services to its DSL customers.



In April 2003, CHT awarded Orca the contract to provide the end-to-end solution and deploy MOD services. The services offered to the initial 20,000 subscribers included Video on Demand (VOD), Near VOD (NVOD), Karaoke-on-Demand (KOD) and live TV services. The new contract expands this number to 30,000.



Additionally, Orca has recently integrated with Widevine Technologies' Cypher) Suite optimized security solution for iTV systems to provide CHT with one of the few TV over IP deployments with secure delivery of premium content. http://www.orcainteractive.com
