SingTel is using the DiviCom Electra 5000 series SD (shown) and the Electra 7000 multichannel, multiservice HD H.264 encoder as part of its IPTV trial.

Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel), one of Southeast Asia's largest telecommunications operators, selected Alcatel-Lucent for its IPTV trial that began in October, the companies announced last week.

Based on a combination of Alcatel-Lucent's services integration solution and Microsoft TV IPTV Edition software platform, the project includes broadcast TV and video on demand (VoD), including support for HD.

Alcatel-Lucent is providing SingTel with an end-to-end IPTV solution and will use the Microsoft TV IPTV Edition software platform to offer an enhanced user experience. Alcatel-Lucent also is offering a complete services integration solution that brings together network infrastructure, software platforms and integration.

Alcatel-Lucent's solution also includes HP ProLiant servers and video headend systems from Harmonic. SingTel is using Harmonic’s HD and SD real-time MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) DiviCom Electra video encoders, CLEARcut offline storage encoding solution and NMX Digital Service Manager.
