The solution will enable Totalplay to bundle its broadband access with its new cloud-based, IP technology-driven Anytime Tv service beyond Mexico City and Guadalajara to the cities of Monterrey, Puebla and Toluca. The French telecoms vendor will replace Totalplay’s existing 7810 Velocix Digital Media Delivery Platform, enabling the operator to quickly and easily increase coverage for Anytime Tv beyond today’s 200,000 customers.
According to Alcatel-Lucent, the platform will provide scalability, enhanced quality and the lowest cost-per-bit of delivery of IP video for optimal performance and efficiency.
