Tiscali chooses Telsey as official supplier of Hybrid IP Set Top Boxes FS600
Telsey S.p.A. has won the call for tender set up by Tiscali and is today official supplier for Hybrid IP Set Top Boxes FS600 - one of the first STB integrating in one device IPTV connection and a double tuner for DDT and Personal Video Recorder - allowing the operator the most flexible service implementation.
Quinto di Treviso (TV), Italia - June 2007 - Telsey, leader in designing and producing access devices and solutions and broadband multimedia communication services, has been selected by Tiscali, one of the main independent European telecommunication companies, as the only supplier of Hybrid IP Set Top Boxes FS600.
During the next 15 months, Telsey will supply Tiscali with two versions of STB in order to fulfil the need of connections both in UK and in Italy. Both versions will allow users whether to access the Tiscali IPTV service, recently launched in UK and soon to be launched in Italy, and to access the DDT via an analogical (analogue - surely digital?)antenna. Part of the deal will involve a STB with an additional interesting feature, and will have
2 tuners DDT (Digital Terrestrial) and a PVR option, allowing users to record contents to be viewed later than the broadcasting timetable
The use of the Telsey Set Top Box Hybrid IP will make easy the usage of both services in one simple menu, through one single device.
"We are very proud to be selected by Tiscali as single supplier of Hybrid IP Set Top Boxes FS600 for their British and Italian markets. To succeed in technological competitions where aggressive and skilled device producers are working is to us a confirmation of the distinctive and unique value we are selling. We are sure that Telsey, with its expertise and product quality, will be in the position to accompany Tiscali in the best possible way of offering an innovative and cutting-edge IPTV service", says Andrea Bosio - Presidente & Chairman of Telsey S.p.A.
"Tiscali's approach has always been to offer immediate, user-friendly and high-value-added services. Therefore, the choice of Telsey and their STB is consistent with our policy and our development strategy", says Mario Mariani - CEO Tiscali Italia.
