Why Alticast

Prime integrator leads the iTV project in success

Why STB-client Prime Integrator is Important?

Middleware should be a main core solution to adopt most 3rd party client solutions on STB

STB Prime Integrator should coordinates vendors to cooperate each other efficiently

Without coordination, best performance and service quality can not be expected.

STB Prime Integrator talks to Operator, CAS vendor, VOD Server vendor, Application Developer,

3rd party Content provider, STB vendor, and other vendors for the application service implementation.

STB Prime integrator does the role of communication hub.

STB Prime Integrator performs integration test

STB Prime Integrator carry out the integration test of all systems

When problem happens, no one is willing to resolve it

STB Prime Integrator plays a role in investigating logs in STB middleware and finding out an

appropriate responsible vendor to resolve the problem.

Why Alticast

The best middleware solution should be

A Open Standard Middleware Solution Should be:

• Be well architected with an abstraction layer that makes the Operator & STB vendor life easier

• Offer future expansion in a modular, open way into every new comer

• Not restrict the growth of the Operator in terms of technology – future proofing

• Match the evolution of operator/subscriber demand in line with the operator’s business plan

• Be widely supported by the industry

A Good Middleware Company Should be:

• Should have Complimentary Products supporting its Middleware

• Should have Industry Partnerships for Plug and Play scenarios (No Lock ins by sole vendor)

• Be well conversed in the Systems Integration of its Middleware

• Not bound by Standards alone BUT be sensitive to the changes in the market-place and anticipate

• new technologies and features to add or remove from its portfolio

• Independent from any hardware vendor/CA vendor but work equally with all

• Tenacious and not give up – Middleware will not go away
