Motorola to license & distribute Espial for IPTV

Espial announced it has signed a software license and distribution agreement with Motorola. According to the terms of the agreement, Motorola is able to resell Espial's Evo® TV Service Platform to operators worldwide.

"This reseller agreement represents another important milestone in Espial's channel development strategy. Motorola brings a depth of experience and leadership in providing digital video system solutions and interactive set-top devices around the globe. They are well positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for IPTV and hybrid IP-Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) systems" said Jaison Dolvane, Espial's President and CEO. "This business relationship expands our global channel presence and fulfillment capacity. It further strengthens the foundation we are building to scale our business to intercept emerging opportunities in the Service Provider TV market."

Espial Evo TV Service Platform meets the rigorous middleware selection criteria from operators worldwide including delivery of a highly customizable user experience; platform openness for service customization and application extensibility; carrier grade architecture for reliability; highly flexible service and business management functions to ensure a smooth operational fit; and, innovative middleware architecture that lowers total cost of ownership.

Mr. Dolvane added: "We are pleased to have built-in support for the Motorola VIP series set top boxes as reference platforms for the Evo TV Service Platform. Looking forward through 2008, one of our key business priorities will be to educate, train and support the Motorola team on our technologies all across the world. We will work with them to win new customers and are actively engaged in opportunities in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia."
