These STB products are expected to begin shipping in sample volumes towards the end of H1 2007.

Haydn Hsieh, CEO & President of WNC, commented, 'Given the market forecasts and potential for IPTV, we wanted to enter the IPTV market quickly and in a big way. We needed to find a software partner to give us the time to market advantage we needed and Amino's IntAct was our best option'. He continued, 'By licensing the IntAct IPTV software, 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, enabling a vastly reduced time to revenues - a critical consideration in a highly competitive market'. 'The significance of this relationship is that tier 1 service operators can now buy IPTV STBs, fully integrated with Amino's market leading software, from a market leading ODM', explained Bob Giddy, Amino's CEO.'
