Ruckus also announces, Belgian service provider Belgacom chooses to use the first service supplier of MediaFlex 7000, they serve these systematic BelgacomTV used for them. Ruckus introduces, Belgacom has been compared with relevant competition 802.11n products, and passed the tight and severe laboratories and family's analog environment experiment post selection MeidaFlex7000 of some. The at a stretch sends the test of high definition IPTV video flowing after including an 20 hours at the rate of 20Mbps in the test, the video flowing is sent to 6 different positions under imitating the situation that home environment interferes with, in this experiment, have not lost a data packet.

David Callisch, the city VP of Ruckus Wireless says, " We have already succeeded, we can be said the only one is Wi-Fi manufacturer that the operator has solved this problem. the operator plans to set out to high definition now. System that we have already sold 500,000 own brands to the operator such as Deutsche Telekom. Our products are based on 802.11g system, it is the system of 54M bandwidth. We guarantee the products offer the characteristic of 20Mbps.
The characteristic that we promise is very important, Callisch says, because this can be converted to U.S. dollar directly to calculate. " Operator pay close attention to actual characteristic, only they can add how much the intersection of IPTV and content get network. "
With the increase to the high definition IPTV demand, the operator face more high-capacity demand. " the operator are advancing towards high definition, this aggravates the requirements for bandwidth even more. Callisch says. " Our 11g products can't be expanded in order to meet such demand. We began to pay close attention to 802.11n technology one year ago. We begin to build only one kind to the transitional system of high definition. Now, this kind of system has already been turned into the products, it uses our Smart antennas technology, this and applied technology is uniform in enterprise's wireless network. "
The key that Ruckus succeeds lies in our Smart antennas technology and combination of products tactics. We have made the clear goal for the products, in this example, but how to release high definition IPTV to the family. Such focused products tactics have lowered costs for the operator too. Callisch says.
The operator hopes to offer high definition IPTV to subscriber in order to earn more profits through offering too. A question is, the operator is to the transformation of high definition, they need to install the new system in user's home. They hope this system is the same as original price, however, it is 4 times that of original g system that 802.11n chip is collected. Having gone wrong in this way, offering 802.11n system for operator will have a cost problem.
" But we have already solved this problem. In the world of 802.11, we a little different, we make Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi associated to regard to common final solution of market as our next goal not merely, and we are also specialized 802.11n Apparatus of special application and developments. In this case in the operator, this is especially employed and for multimedia distribution or IPTV to release. MediaFlex was researched and developed specially for doing such a thing. "
It is introduced Ruckus quote data of Infonetics Research, claim the intersection of world and IPTV to serve business volume, exceed 44 billion dollars 2009. At present, DSL provider takes the majority of the business volume of the service, broadband supplier expects to migrate the cable to all-IP triple-play service during future a few years, this will cause the growing prosperity of IPTV subscriber, these some markets expect to reach 97 billion dollars in 2011.
Though is only a manufacturer of a California, Ruckus has been following the international operator's market ambitiously all the time.
" The majority in the customer of our operator is outside U.S.A., " Callisch says. " Because of several reasons, IPTV has not permeated the American market yet now. As to the thing that some operators IPTV are only that one is read and thought of, and the operator has very large fields to cover. In Europe, the same region can deserve to be called a country. the operator has a lot of users, but the users not like AT&T or Verizon. It is difficult to accomplish like AT&T, and should let the users of up to a million buy your service, and it is difficult to provide service for them. the operator needs to lay a solid foundation step by step. the operator of North America has taken a method to encourage IPTV to compete in the market, but what they tried hard to recommend is whole family DVR scheme ......They plan to enter the market with high definition, and the international operator has already offered IPTV of the standard definition, to the staging of high definition now. the operator of North America hopes to jump over some reality direct access high definition service markets.
