Indian IPTV operator Smart Digivision rolls out AirTies Set-Top Boxes to three million households in India
Award Winning Indian IPTV Service MyWay offers interactive entertainment experience on TV screens across India
Istanbul, July 8th 2009 - AirTies, the innovative wireless home networking vendor has been chosen by Smart Digivision to provide its set-top boxes (STBs) as part of its award winning IPTV service, MyWay™, offering Indian households a high quality, interactive IPTV experience. The service, which is being rolled out across 54 large cities across India including New Delhi and Mumbai, will provide Indian households with the choice of 150 TV channels as well as Video on Demand (VoD) films and DVDs and a range of interactive internet services such as music, gaming, education and e-commerce to allow them to watch programmes as and when they choose.
Smart Digivision will be deploying the IPTV service to over three million subscribers throughout India on the broadband networks of incumbent telco operators BSNL and MTNL. AirTies has created a customised version of its H.264 standard definition set-top box offering high quality video over low bandwidth at a very affordable price. The STB supports low bit rate IPTV networks and plans are afoot to support for external USB disk based personal video recording and wireless video in future developments of the service.
Kapil Dev Kumar, COO, Smart Digivision comments: "Our key requirements in selecting the AirTies STB were fast boot-up and channel zap time, plus support for internet transactional and video applications on the TV. Other key criteria included support for DVR on external storage and low cost pricing for the competitive Indian Market. Not only did the AirTies STB meet all of our requirements, but it also impressed us with its unique visually appealing design. The AirTies STB has allowed us to price the MyWay™ service competitively against our Satellite television competitors, where volumes have already crossed 10 million in aggregate. More importantly, AirTies has lived up to the promise of excellent support and shown a flexible approach towards customizing the hardware and firmware for the specific eco-system deployment, network conditions and custom-developed user interface.”
AirTies CEO Bülent Çelebi added: “India as a market offers dramatic potential for IPTV technologies with its current installed base of 6 million broadband subscribers and a market that is growing dramatically. We enabled MyWay to compete with Satellite price points by optimizing for the Indian market and designing cost out. Our challenge was to achieve that price point without compromising on quality or features. We see the Asia-Pacific IPTV market as a major opportunity for AirTies and consider a long-term business relationship with Smart Digivision as a key component to our success in the region.”

i recently had a talk with one of the CC executives of myway(not of just taking calls type but a technical one) and he said that recording and pausing live tv will start from the month of august.
though he didnt promise me any particular date for the same but he sounded quite sure. So i request all of you to call up CCs of your areas and ask them about the status of recording and pausing live tv as far as myway is concerned
----------
Now this might asking for too much but just imagine if one day mtnl/bsnl decide to upgrade their telephone wires to a level that provides bandwidth enough for accomodating the transmission of HD signals along with regular broadband !! then myway's association with airties can prove to be very helpful for customers seeking HD signals as airties already has an IPTV STB for HD channels :
Air 7120 High Definition IP Set-Top Box
I know its a dream too big to come true and might even take years but we still hope that this happens someday 🙂
