Telbo selects Amino's next generation IPTV set-top boxes for HD rollout

Telefonia Bonairiano (Telbo), the leading telecommunications and media service provider on Bonaire, has selected Amino’s (LSE AIM: AMO) A140 HD next generation IPTV set-top boxes for the deployment of high definition television services.

The first provider in the Caribbean to deliver leading edge TV services across a mixed xDSL and Fiber network, Telbo is transitioning to HD services to enable its current and new customers with the highest possible quality TV experience.

The company, which also offers fixed line telephony and broadband Internet, launched IPTV services in 2007.

Telbo’s CEO Gilbert de Bree said: “We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality leading edge services on our full IP infrastructure. Offering HD services is natural progression – and we selected Amino’s new A140 set-top boxes because they are perfectly aligned with our vision of improving and extending our TV offering in terms of performance, quality and value.”

Amino CEO Andrew Burke added: “Telbo is a forward-thinking operator with a clear commitment to deploying the latest technology to its customers and we’re delighted to work with them on the next phase of their rollout. The A140 has won instant acceptance in the global IPTV market – underlining its ability to deliver quality HD content at a compelling price point.”

The Amino’s A140, an MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 high definition set-top box, is based on the latest STMicroelectronics’ STi7105 System on Chip (SoC) solutions and was launched in mid-2010.
