About the DigiHost Service Delivery platform
The system is built using an open Java architecture, highly optimised and easy-to-use Java object libraries and widgets, and boasts set-top box diagnostics for real-time reporting, remote assistance and troubleshooting.
“The IPTV market is maturing and converging. Its focus is rapidly evolving from the provision of linear TV programming to offering sophisticated services that differentiate IPTV providers from traditional TV operators”, said Tom Higgins, chief executive officer, Digisoft.tv Ltd.
“However, research has indicated that significant growth will also come from hybrid operators that combine the delivery of traditional TV services over their cable, satellite and terrestrial networks with value-added services delivered over IP.
“Digisoft’s DigiHost Service Delivery Platform provides IPTV and Hybrid operators with a highly scalable and flexible solution that enables them to bring new and innovative services and applications to their customers to increase ARPU and grow market share” Higgins said.
