Arroyo executives to participate at TelecomNEXT conference

Arroyo Video Solutions will feature its next generation IPTV networked video solution in IBM's booth (#649) at the USTelecom Association's TelecomNEXT Conference & Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Centre in Las Vegas, March 21-22.
In addition, Arroyo executives have been selected to participate at the TelecomNEXT conference. Arroyo's President and CEO Rick DeGabrielle will present a paper entitled ‘Network Architecture for Personalised Entertainment’ on Wednesday, March 22, 3:40-4:00pm. On Sunday, March 19, 10:00-11:40am, Arroyo's Vice President of Technology Dr. John Pickens will moderate a panel entitled ‘Fixed/Mobile Convergence’.
On the TelecomNEXT exhibit floor in IBM's booth Arroyo will demonstrate its next generation IPTV networked video software solution, Arroyo OnDemand. Operating on IBM's eServer hardware, Arroyo OnDemand powers the delivery of new and emerging personalised television services, including networked VOD (video on demand), nPVR (network personal video recorder) and time shifted television. Arroyo will also show its networked VOD software integrated in an end-to-end solution with IPTV middleware, enabling back-office functions such as transaction processing, billing and data collection. This integrated solution is currently being trialed with a major telecommunications operator in the US.
"Telco service providers have blueprinted a 'network' approach to video that envisions two or three 'super headend' sites for all video capture, and leverages the national transmission architecture used for voice and data service offerings to also deliver video services to subscribers," said DeGabrielle. "Arroyo OnDemand's networked approach to video is ideal for this type of architecture, as it allows our customers to aggregate multiple servers into a solution that delivers unlimited network scalability and is easy to manage and operate, because they act as one. With Arroyo OnDemand, operators can finally deliver the next generation of advanced personalized TV services reliably, efficiently and cost-effectively."
