StarHub Turns Interactive Triple Play

PHILADELPHIA -- Cable Tec Expo -- Interactive Enterprise today announced that StarHub, a Singapore based info-communication company providing a full range of information, communications and entertainment services over fixed, mobile and Internet platforms has selected the Conexon platform for the provisioning and activation of multi-channel cable TV and telephony services for its cable customers. Conexon has been in deployment at StarHub since 2001 and today manages more than 100,000 high-speed data subscribers over its cable network.

The Conexon solution will enable StarHub to automate the provisioning and activation of triple-play data, voice and video services on one platform, which will help the company to reduce its business and operational costs.

Said Mr Philip Tan, StarHub's Executive Vice-President for Operations & Support: "As a multi-service provider, StarHub has plans to introduce more services in addition to its cable TV, broadband access and telephony over our cable broadband network. Also, with the expected growth in our customer base, a robust provisioning system such as the Conexon platform is needed to meet our growing business and complex operational needs. This in turn would enable us to make our service delivery to customers in a highly effective and efficient manner to fully meet their needs."

"Interactive Enterprise views StarHub as its flagship customer, not just in Asia, but globally," said Tom Higgins, Chief Executive Officer, Interactive Enterprise, "StarHub's vision and pace in offering converged services is exactly aligned with our vision of the converged broadband world.
