Orca Interactive and AirTies have joined forces to present the first pre-integrated wireless IPTV and Web TV solution. The solution will include Orca’s RiGHTv middleware, Orca’s COMPASS, the Content Discovery solution for a personalised TV experience, and AirTies’ latest STB with its built-in support for wireless and 3D graphics. Orca chose AirTies STB because it offered state-of-the-art functionality including: high performance, good implementation of the 7413 Broadcom chipset, support for Wi-Fi, IPTV or Web TV.

AirTies, the innovative wireless home networking vendor will be marking three industry firsts at this year’s IBC show. It will be previewing the industry’s first high definition 802.11N wireless video set-top box featuring self-service customer provisioning, 3D graphics, and solid state storage on NAND flash.

Dutch service provider Caiw Media is planning a November launch for its new IPTV service, after nearly two years in the planning. Having now changed their set-top box provider to Turkish firm AirTies and their middleware to Nordija, Caiw Media is now hoping to have the system ready in October, in readiness for a commercial launch nationwide in November. The new service will feature standard- and high-definition live broadcast content delivered in MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, with 11 high-definition channels expected at launch (rising to 18 by the end of the year), and a total line-up of around 210 channels. The service will also feature wireless distribution of IPTV content and the ability to pause live TV enabled by 2 GB of flash memory integrated into the AirTies set-top box.

Air 7124, the industry`s first HD 802.11n wireless IPTV STB featuring self-service, customer provisioning, 3D graphics, and solid state storage on NAND flash will be on display on AirTies stand as well as in partner booths of SeaChange, GooMe, Orca, Nordija and Opera.

Technology partners bring different aspects of the connected home concept to life. Strong partnerships are essential to making the concept work because each partner enables a different aspect of the "puzzle". AirTies develops and markets wireless products for service providers, small businesses and consumers in the EMEA region, and, like Opera, is committed to connecting the home both to the outside world and devices within the home.

In 2003, only 55.000 Turkish households had a broadband connection. Today the number of the broadband users in Turkey has reached 6 million. The growth in subscriptions will continue, expects Bulent elebi, Chairman of AirTies, as interest in ADSL connection is constantly increasing. However, the competition between the Internet providers becomes harder while the market matures. Having started with the motto “The sky is the limit”, AirTies continues its work to create a global technology brand. Bulent elebi believes that an American-style business model is the key to the company’s success.

More than 2,5 million satisfied customers recommend AirTies. They constitute the strong base of the company. Mr. Blent elebi, President and CEO of AirTies, analyzes the achievements and targets of the company that aspires to make the difference in the rapidly changing telecom landscape.
