  • To cell phones worldwide via WIFI, Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) 3G networks, and the emerging next generation 4G WIMAX
  • All using under 1 megabit of the Internet as the backbone to the television set and 150 kilobits to the cell phone

In effect, creating the first global “Virtual Cable Television Network™”.

“In a series of tests of other set top box manufactures,” said Garry McHenry, President of DUTV, “we have decided to use the Amino set top box for its superior video transport technology. Amino’s range of software and set-top box systems can be tailored for telecom, broadcast and hospitality firms to offer highly scalable and targeted services and is unmatched in the industry. Further, Amino’s ability to deliver video in the MPEG 4 format is critical to our long range expansion plans. We have worked well with Amino at the IPTV World Forums and look forward to a long term relationship.”
