Supplier of billing solutions, Union Street Technologies, has moved premises to manage the continued growth and expansion of the company.

The company has relocated within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames to a modern office building in Worple Way. The new building provides ample space, for current requirements and planned future expansion.

Founded in 1999 Union Street Technologies is the UK market leader in the supply of Billing and WLR3 solutions for CPs. 2009 has proved to be a successful year for the company with several landmark events culminating in the premises move.

Commenting on the premises move, Tony Cook, managing director of Union Street, said: "In contrast to our previous location, the new building has space for a dedicated customer training area and other facilities for training presentations. Crucially the new building means that we can expand staffing to increase both our development team and the customer support technical staff. We look forward to welcoming our growing customer base to our new home!"

Intrinsic Technology has ramped up its growth momentum with the appointment of Mike Mason as MD.

Intrinsic's founder and former MD, Allan Gauld, will move to the position of CEO, focusing on the company's acquisition strategy.

Mason joins Intrinsic from ABSNet where he was CEO. He more than doubled turnover before leading the company's sale to Capita Group in 2008. Previous senior management roles include General Manager for BT's ICT division and Head of Global Sales at Equant, where he was responsible for annual sales in excess of $650m.

Gauld commented: "Mike is one of the big hitters in the channel with a reputation to match. He has an extensive background in the industry with 25 years experience in delivering business growth."

Mason believes that a balance of solution sales, coupled with a continuous revenue stream from support and managed services have allowed Intrinsic to remain resilient in challenging market conditions.

He commented: "Having spent considerable time with the management team over the summer months, it became apparent that the business has a perfect foundation from which to accelerate future growth.

"This is an exciting time for Intrinsic as we continue to develop our solutions portfolio including extending into the data centre, cloud based computing, and accelerating our current portfolio of managed and professional services."

In 2009 ITL was listed on the Sunday Times Tech Track for the second year in a row, appearing at number 51 (seven places up on last year). The company is expected to double its profits by the end of the year.

The Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) is pleased to announce that its first Interoperability Event was successful. The event took place from Nov 16th - 20th in the premises of the event host, Fraunhofer FOKUS in Berlin, Germany. The Open IPTV Forum plans for additional Interoperability Events during 2010 and onwards for adopters of the OIPF specifications.

Speaking after the event Mr Oliver Friedrich, Fraunhofer FOKUS said: "It's a pleasure for us to facilitate the first ever Open IPTV Forum Interoperability Event and take part in the actual event as an independent research institute. We believe that this event truly brings OIPF members and supporters one step closer to providing implementations of the OIPF specifications. We will actively support this process by offering help to participating companies and by providing prototypes and reference implementations."

The OIPF Interoperability Event was participated by the OIPF Members including: Ericsson, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Motorola, Sharp and others.

The emphasis of OIPF's first Interoperability Event was detailed interoperability testing between consumer terminal equipment and IMS-based IPTV middleware and gateway. It is through these Interoperability Events that the Open IPTV Forum expects to stimulate member's product implementations and demonstrate viable IPTV services based on OIPF specifications. The consumer terminal equipment was provided by Motorola, and Sharp , whilst the middleware and gateway platforms came from Ericsson and Fraunhofer FOKUS.

Members of the Open IPTV Forum in attendance to observe the proceedings, include Allion, Amino, Fastweb, France Telecom Orange, LGE, Pirelli Broadband Solutions, Samsung, Telefonica and Telecom Italia.

According to Mr. Diego Gibellino, Telecom Italia "From a Telecom Operator perspective it is quite significant that the forum has been able to gather companies around early implementations just after the completion of the OIPF Release 1 specifications. The availability of equipments and devices and their capability to interoperate in a multi-vendor environment are the fundamental value that the specifications can bring to the market".

According to Ms Priya Rajagopal, Motorola 'The event provided Motorola with a good opportunity to do interoperability testing between our set-top boxes and IPTV solutions from different service providers'.

According to Mr Bo Olofzon, Ericsson "It is great to see the industry coming together to prove the feasibility of OIPF specifications. The good results only strengthen us in our commitment for open standards based IPTV. We are looking forward to work with service providers, CE vendors, and technology providers to get ready for commercial services."

"This is a major milestone for the Forum to move within 2 years from specifications to implementations. I hope that the enthusiasm of the participants will infect everyone to continue to participate in future events and add to the portfolio of OIPF-based interoperable implementations. With the availability of test specifications scheduled for mid-2010 and a certification program that is in the process of being defined, we expect service providers to feel confident about moving towards OIPF-based deployments", as stated by Yun Chao Hu, OIPF President.

NOTES FOR EDITORS

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television or Interactive Personalised Television) is a system where a digital television service is delivered using Internet Protocol over a network infrastructure, which may include delivery by a broadband connection. A general definition of IPTV is television content that, instead of being delivered through traditional broadcast and cable formats, is received by the viewer through the technologies used for computer networks. With IPTV, the television screen becomes a means of communication, allowing the viewer to interact with the service. It will have numerous applications, for example, in video on demand, shopping, for special needs, quiz shows, voting in television shows etc.

The Open IPTV Forum is fully open to participants from across the communications and entertainment industries, and brings together network operators, content providers, service providers, consumer electronics manufacturers and home and network infrastructure providers. The members of the Open IPTV Forum are working together on the development of open specifications because they recognise that combining the expertise of all involved will help to streamline and accelerate deployments of IPTV technologies. Their aim is to make the next generation of IPTV a mass market service and to maximise the benefits of IPTV for consumers as well as the industry.
