Amino Wins Telbo Deal

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. -- Amino (LSE:AMO - News), the world leading IPTV platform supplier, today announced that Telefonia Bonairiano NV (“Telbo”), the Dutch Caribbean’s telecommunications company, has selected the AmiNET125 multi-codec Set-Top-Box (STB) to power “mitv”, the first IPTV service in the Caribbean island of Bonaire over ADSL2+ network. This innovative IPTV service was developed by Telbo N.V., Savant Communications N.V. and Manycast Consultancy Inc. and is considered to be the showcase model for the Telbo partner telecom companies, covering an additional 24 countries.

The AmiNET125 deployment offers Telbo the opportunity to provide subscribers an enhanced IPTV platform, which goes beyond traditional triple-play services. The AmiNET125 platform is specifically designed to help operators in emerging markets introduce IPTV services with a flexible and cost effective approach.

Telbo’s “mitv” service, an integral part of its triple play (video, voice and data) offering and a first for the Caribbean region, consists of a Basic Package of around 40 channels including HBO, Discovery and FOX. As another first in the Dutch Caribbean, Telbo will offer the Dutch Public Channels (Nederland 1, 2 and 3), which will be inserted into the headend via optical submarine cables. Telbo also offers an Extended Basic Package and packages serving specific customer needs (International, Sports, Action, unique Adult content offered on PPV and VoD and 3 premium movie oriented packages).

"We wanted to expand our basic platform and offer more value to our customers. With Amino’s proven performance in other markets similar to ours, the AmiNET125 was an obvious choice for us,” said Edsel Winklaar, Managing Director of Telbo “We hope to repeat the success of this initial deployment in other islands in the region,” he added.
