UTStarcom Continues IPTV Momentum in India

UTStarcom, Inc. announced it has signed a new contract with Aksh Optifibre, Ltd. that expands the operator's deployment of the industry-leading RollingStream Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) solution.

UTStarcom's second deal with Aksh demonstrates the company's continued commitment to build and delivering IPTV capabilities throughout India.

Aksh originally selected UTStarcom in early 2007 to deliver the first commercial IPTV service in India through Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) in Delhi. The current contract helps Aksh extend its reach and deliver the same high-quality IPTV services to subscribers of MTNL in Mumbai, India.

According to Kailash S. Choudhari, managing director at Aksh Optifibre, innovation brings progress and Aksh understands the importance of maintaining cutting-edge technology as India embarks on pivotal IPTV growth.

On the other hand, Vijay Yadav, vice president and managing director, South Asia operations, UTStarcom said that IPTV is building steady momentum in India and UTStarcom's understanding of the growing environment gives them a market advantage.
