Already working with some of the largest service providers, including Telekom Austria, Alcatel-Lucent continues to make a name for itself in the burgeoning IPTV market. In this Audiocast, Sean Buckley talks with Jim Guillet, Assistant Vice President of Triple Play product marketing for Alcatel/Lucent, about how service providers can leverage their broadband network and IPTV network build outs to generate a sound return on this new investment.
In this Audiocast, Guillet addresses the following questions:
• IPTV, and really the whole idea of telco TV, has gone through various
iterations, but from where you sit what’s your sense of the state of the
market overall?
• To help service providers ramp up their IP video offerings, Alcatel/Lucent
recently made a number of new enhancements to its Triple Play Service
Delivery Architecture (TPSDA), already deployed by large operators such
as Telekom Austria AG. What drove Alcatel/Lucent to make these new
enhancements?
• One of the elements of TPSDA is its ability to
deliver and enforce policy end to end. How has the role and
advancement of policy management changed over the years and how will
be it be applied in the telco video market?
• In addition to Policy Management, Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
continues to come up more and more recently with various DPI-centric
vendors beefing up their wares. What’s ALU’s approach to DPI?
• Another concept to emerge in the telecom video age as providers ramp up
their service rollouts is the notion of Quality of Experience (QoE). What’s
your definition of QoE, and what steps can service providers take to be
proactive about ensuring QoE in the home?
• While there’s a lot of talk about IPTV, Over the Top (OTT) video
or online video continues to ramp up. How does that play into the overall
telco video market?
