Original Press Release:
Evo(R) Future-Proof Framework(TM) Provides Freedom and Independence to Customize, Extend and Evolve IPTV Services
DALLAS, TX, Nov. 8 -- TelcoTV - Espial(R) IPTV, the leading provider of IPTV middleware and applications, today unveiled the Evo(R) Future-Proof Framework(TM) (FPF) to provide an unparalleled level of openness to customize, extend and evolve the Evo IPTV Service Platform.
The Evo Future-Proof Framework is a set of tools, methodologies, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that ensure truly open, portable, integrated and service-rich offerings.
The Evo Future-Proof Framework's Portability Environment ensures service providers can offer IPTV services across any set-top box, PC, mobile handset or other media connected device without the need to re-write applications for each device or platform. The Portability Environment ensures a higher return on investment for the IPTV service provider as well as the ability to converge multiple service offerings.
The Evo Future-Proof Framework can help a service provider extend their offering to include best-in-class IPTV components within their pre-integrated IPTV ecosystems. FPF's Integration Environment tools allow service providers to integrate to both network back-office systems and IPTV component vendors on any schedule they need, limiting unnecessary expenditure of time and providing full control over the solution.
The Evo Future-Proof Framework's Service Creation Environment (SCE) ensures rapid creation and deployment of new services, applications and Evo SkinTones(TM) (fully customizable IPTV interfaces with a unique look and feel). With content development kits and APIs for both Evo Client and Evo Server, operators can independently create new client-to-server services such as messaging, photo sharing or gaming and deploy these using configurable business rules.
"The Evo Future-Proof Framework is another example of the commitment behind Espial's belief that IPTV architectures must be modular and open," said Espial CEO Jaison Dolvane. "Espial's IPTV Service platform can be sold as a pre-integrated solution or as modular components for use with various end-to-end IPTV systems"
Espial's products are being deployed to over 500,000 IPTV subscribers and the company was recently named the # 1 IPTV client middleware vendor by market research firm ABI (http://www.abiresearch.com/abiprdisplay.jsp?pressid=738). Over 2.5 million consumers have already experienced Espial technology, from hotel interactive TV and VOD services, to interactive interfaces in vehicles and TVs, to leading deployments within the IPTV market.

"Espial's carrier-grade Evo Server launch makes the Evo IPTV Service Platform a real alternative to the Microsoft IPTV middleware," said Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst, Broadband and IPTV, Infonetics Research. "Evo's modularity, scalability, and openness should give competitors a run for their money."
The Future-Proof Framework tools, methodologies and application development programming interfaces are on display at Espial's booth # 1206 at TelcoTV this week. Espial will be demonstrating the advantages these tools provide for deploying successful IPTV services.
