CAMBRIDGE, U.K. -- IntAct Software Ltd ("IntAct"), an Amino Technologies plc company ("Amino"; stock code: AMO), announces today that it has signed a licensing agreement with Wistron NeWeb Corp. ("WNC"), the subsidiary of Wistron group, which will allow WNC to bundle the IntAct IPTV solution across a range of Set-Top Boxes (STBs) from the mentioned company.

For an undisclosed sum, WNC has the right to supply the latest advanced IPTV software technology to customers across the Asia-Pacific region and tier-1 telcos in European Union and North America markets.

Haydn Hsieh, CEO & President of WNC, commented, "Given the market forecasts and potential for IPTV, we want to enter the IPTV market quickly and in a big way. We need to find a software partner to give us the time-to-market advantage we need and IntAct is our best option" He continued, "By licensing the IntAct IPTV solution, we can provide our customers with a proven solution that is already pre-integrated with most of the popular Middleware, Conditional Access and VOD servers on the market, reducing vastly the production time to revenues - a critical consideration in a highly competitive market".
