Tilgin Signs Global Cooperation Agreement with Ericsson to Provide End-to-End IPTV Solutions

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Tilgin (STO:TILG), a leading provider of customer premises equipment (CPE) for advanced triple play and IMS-based services, today announces a global cooperation agreement with Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to provide pre-integrated IPTV set-top boxes.

The agreement will see Tilgin IPTV set-top boxes being pre-integrated into Ericsson’s IPTV end-to-end solutions. Tilgin will supply IPTV set-top box solutions from the Mood 300 and Mood 400 series that include complete support for the latest generation of video compression MPEG-4 AVC and advanced functionality such as Personal Video Recording (PVR) and high definition TV (HDTV). The Tilgin Mood Boot Server (MBS), for remote configuration and software updating, is included as an integral part of the Tilgin set-top box solution. The agreement provides no guarantees for future joint business, nor any guaranteed minimum volume orders.

“We are proud to have been chosen by Ericsson. This agreement not only recognizes the quality of our solution, but also promotes clear synergies, not least when it comes to IMS,” says Ola Berglund, Tilgin CEO. “We have been pioneering IPTV since the beginning of the decade and are continuing to do so within the framework of our Tilgin IMS@Home solution. Evolving IPTV to IMS TV will have an enormous impact on the industry.”
