Link: NDS and Nortel collaborate on IPTV
US-based Nortel Networks is joining with NDS, a West Drayton, UK-based networking firm to develop Internet Protocol TV services for the European market.
Nortel has signed a global reseller and joint marketing agreement with NDS and set up a laboratory for IPTV research at its Research Triangle Park campus in North Carolina.
The two companies plan to integrate Nortel’s voice and multi-media products into NDS’s MediaHighway middleware in order to offer IPTV that includes a comprehensive package of services.
A user will be able to control a range of communications services from their TV, including caller ID, call handling, address book, click-to-dial, call-logs, instant messaging and other IP-based communication services.
Nortel and NDS demonstrated the service at the IPTV World Forum 07 at Olympia, London.
