Nokia Siemens Networks signs Polish IPTV contract

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

The Polish telecoms market is highly deregulated. Internet and telephone lines, for example, can now be offered independently. Dialog Telecom is Poland 's first operator to offer independent Internet connection without the need to pay a telephone bill or line rental costs.

Nokia Siemens Networks has signed a contract with Dialog Telecom to deliver and integrate an interactive TV and video-on-demand platform. The test installation will be rolled out this June with commercial roll out expected for the end of this year.

Dialog Telecom, one of the largest independent fixed-line telephony operators in Poland, chose Nokia Siemens Networks to deliver and integrate an IPTV-platform into Dialog's network to enable interactive television and video-on-demand services. Nokia Siemens Networks will also supply the set-top boxes for the consumer homes to allow the new multimedia services to be used.

The IPTV solution extends Dialog's existing portfolio. Subscribers will thus be able to create their own individual service package combining dedicated fixed-line telephony, Internet access and innovative fixed-line digital television (IPTV).

Available features of the IPTV solution will include TV Pause (pause and start of the TV programme being watched) or Digital VCR (which allows material to be recorded on-demand from a selected TV channel). Subscribers will be offered a wide range of TV channels grouped into packages (with different prices, number of channels and subject), or the channel will be available individually. In addition, the Video Rental feature will allow subscribers to rent movies from a library of several thousand movies to watch both the latest blockbusters as well as classic and connoisseur movies.

Such a solution will be expected to provide flexible conditions for cooperation with several content providers and full control over the final product, as well as the ability to tailor the offer both in terms of content and price. For Thomas Werner, Head of Business Line Applications, Nokia Siemens Networks: ?This is an important step to introduce new competitive services for the Polish market.?
