Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT), a provider of international and domestic voice, Internet, and data services, will use the RollingStream platform to bring IPTV services to its growing customer base throughout Sri Lanka.
With this deployment, SLT with more than 87 % market share and a wireline subscriber base of more than 1,300,000 customers expects to grow its residential and commercial business through its increased triple play capabilities.
According to MRG that publishes the semi-annual IPTV Global Market Leader Report, the global IPTV network Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) will grow at 16 % CAGR over the next few years.
SLT's IPTV deployment is designed to support approximately 100,000 subscribers in the next 2 years. It will also enable the company to provide video services to future subscribers over copper lines in the next 3-4 years.
Vijay Yadav, managing director for UTStarcom (South Asia) said, "UTStarcom is looking forward to work with SLT and we are committed to provide the operator with a competitive IPTV solution that will extend its strides and solidify Sri Lanka as a major telecom hub in South Asia."
The IPTV system currently supports more than 850,000 live IPTV subscribers globally and maintains a total system capacity exceeding 2.5 million subscribers based on the result of recent successful deployments in China with China Netcom and China Telecom, in India with Bharti Airtel, MTNL/Aksh and UTL, etc.
