Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) announced today that its IMS integrated IPTV middleware received the TelcoTV Vision Award in the category of middleware, including set-top box and back-end management software, at the TelcoTV 2008 annual conference and expo.
November 24, 2008
The TelcoTV Vision Awards recognize the most innovative and “visionary” new products, services, or applications announced in the communications industry in the past year.
Joe Braue, Senior Vice President and Group Director of the Light Reading Communications Network, who presented the awards, said, "From the smallest set-top box to the biggest carrier, the Vision Awards winners demonstrate that innovation and creativity are thriving in the telecommunications video marketplace. We congratulate Ericsson, and all of our winners for their continued leadership in the IPTV industry."
Eric Cooney, Head of TV Solutions, Ericsson said, "It's an honor to receive the TelcoTV Vision Award. IPTV solutions featuring our IMS integrated middleware can extend the Individual TV Experience with enhanced services such as presence, messaging/chat, extended parental control and a number of other innovative features."
Ericsson’s IPTV middleware is the first solution in the world to be pre-integrated with IMS, and it also operates across traditional networks. Ericsson’s IMS platform is based on open standards and enables true convergence of networks and services through a common platform for controlling IP-based TV and multimedia services. The open standard will make it possible to consume services on any screen, across any network and supports full interoperability.
Ericsson's IPTV middleware solution gives operators the flexibility and scalability they need to create, trial and deploy a personalized and interactive TV experience to their subscribers, as well as provide a complete TV package that includes interactive, mobile and on-demand functionality.
Ericsson is the world’s leading provider of technology and services to telecom operators. The market leader in 2G and 3G mobile technologies, Ericsson supplies communications services and manages networks that serve more than 195 million subscribers. The company’s portfolio comprises mobile and fixed network infrastructure, and broadband and multimedia solutions for operators, enterprises and developers. The Sony Ericsson joint venture provides consumers with feature-rich personal mobile devices.

Working in 175 countries, more than 70,000 employees generated revenue of USD 27.9 billion (SEK 188 billion) in 2007.
