National Telco Television Consortium (NTTC), a company that specializes in content licensing, and Satellite Management Services (SMS), are teaming up to provide increased options for IPTV (News - Alert) and satellite-delivered master antenna television system (SMATV) operators.

 

The partnership will enhance traditional residential-style IPTV systems by adding content deployment products and expand the availability of content to be delivered through IPTV and solutions and speed deployments to market.

 

SMATV uses multiple satellite and broadcast signals for single integrated cable signal to be distributed to a cabling network.

 

“NTTC traditionally provides consultative content licensing strategies to our core telco, ppowerco, networking and municipality members in order to determine the best content offerings needed to build their successful IPTV deployments,” said William Shepherd, NTTC’s CEO, in a statement.

 

Shepherd continued: “We are excited to work with SMS because NTTC has growing opportunities in the hospitality and multi-tenant markets. SMS gives us the added ability to serve our member systems with those alternative deployment solutions where common IPTV deployments may fall a little short in reaching the most subscribers.”

 

SMS CEO, Tom Waite, addsed: “SMS has built a positive reputation by efficiently providing quality, cost-effective services to our core group of national multi-tenant and hospitality operators. But with the rapid growth and demand that we are experiencing for new IPTV and broadband options, NTTC’s ongoing IPTV licensing focus provides us with real market assets that have been outside of our more traditional cable strategies. This is a sound team strategy.”

 

NTTC provides products like IPTV affiliate distribution licensing for television providers, broadband affiliation programming rights, and a negotiator of new media options for its member systems. NTTC serves twenty two member systems with consultative channel planning and also product licensing launches.

 

SMS is into providing integrated broadband voice, video and data solutions to operators of apartment and condominium communities, hotels, motels and more.
