According to the programme, the last session of Day 1 will address business models and go-to-market strategies for a selection of major players, including best practice from overseas, and look at the impact on the television business.
During the Day 3, Session 2 panel, speakers will dispense tips on the best practices of proactive QoS and QoE management as well as the impact of quality assurance on customer acquisition and retention.
“While IPTV networks has attracted a tremendous amount of attention and investment, to actually reliably deliver television over a shared IP network is fraught with trouble and difficulty. The years and years of television history have set very high expectations from viewers – and today those viewers have a choice. Nascent IPTV operators are faced with the difficult challenge of pulling viewers away from their existing cable & satellite services. A failure to offer the highest possible quality of experience will only result in lost viewers and lost profits. Building a robust network with a focus on quality management is essential to their success,” said Danny Wilson.
At booth A55, Pixelmetrix will put the spotlight on its award winning Electronic Couch Potato™ (ECP) and Consolidator™ - designed to monitor the true customer viewing experience by providing measurements from the end point of the content delivery chain; EndGame™ – More Than Last Mile Surveillance System™ – an end-to-end monitoring system for Quality of Experience; DVStation-IP³™ - the one-stop monitoring engine for IP and TS Analysis as well as the DVStorIP-Gen™ IPTV test stream generator.
Pixelmetrix develops a host of IPTV and Preventive Monitoring systems that offer unique attributes and versatility, allowing operators to achieve end-to-end visibility and keep tabs on their network architecture.
The IPTV World Forum Asia will be held from December 5 to 7 at the Suntec City Convention Centre, Singapore. Connected Home Asia is featured in conjunction with this event.
