Tilgin Offer Full Service Routing, Streamlining IPTV Connections

Home gateway solutions often lack any real flexibility, especially in the area of multi-play services.

Very often they are hard connected via IP set-tops, not to the home network but to the gateway.

This works reasonably well, but it is not always easy to share content between IP set-tops, PCs and media devices and distribution to more than one TV in a home is not streamlined.

Tilgin has now produced what it considers to be a solution to these concerns, in the form of its new Full Service Routing system.

It is set to streamline the distribution of value added services (VAS) with an emphasis on IPTV.

The new solution, offered for the first time at the Broadband World Forum in Brussels, is well suited to multiple TVs and is engineered to deal with converged service as well as multi-play.

It will now be far more practical to link together multiple different devices such as IP set-tops and PCs.

The new system wants to be a one stop shop, that integrates devices in the home to allow easy access to TV and other media, without the need for switching between applications.

Full Service Routing, which is included in the company’s Home Gateway Application Software, gives operators the much needed ability to expand portfolios of broadband services, which is considered to be an essential way forward for IPTV suppliers.
