Connecting Dots … Verizon, Seachange, Motorola
Verizon, confirmed that it is using SeaChange International's IP Video System to enable VOD on its FiOS TV service. The solution automates FiOS TV's VOD service from content ingest to set-top applications; in the Verizon deployment it is working in tandem with Motorola set-tops. It is also capable of supporting interactive advertising, games-on-demand, and other new applications.
SeaChange infrastructure and Motorola set top boxes are a popular combination for the cable companies, too. So, it would appear that Verizon has reduced the number of variables in its deployment as much as it could and that implies that their IPTV service is well grounded harware-wise.
FiOS TV, which is delivered over a fiber-to-the-premises network, is currently available in parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area; in Herndon, Virginia; and in Temple Terrace, Florida.
