DataMiner @ IPTV World Forum 2007.


Izegem, Belgium – Skyline Communications, leading supplier of multi-vendor network management technology, announces its participation to the IPTV World Forum 2007 conference and exhibition in March 2007. At this event, Skyline will showcase its award-winning flagship product DataMiner, which is the market leader for umbrella management of the operational environment in IPTV, broadcast, satellite and cable. DataMiner is currently deployed by industry leaders such as Belgacom, BeTV, Essent, Eutelsat, Globecast, ntl Telewest, Telenet and Voo.


The showcase at IPTV World Forum will include demonstration of one of its killer applications, namely the powerful Quality of Service monitoring capabilities of the platform, including showcases of existing implementations of some market leaders.


“Times have changed, and today operators are supplying the most advanced interactive multi-media services such as interactive digital television, high speed Internet access, IP telephony and much more in an ever increasingly competitive market to an ever more demanding subscriber,” commented Ben Vandenberghe, Sales & Marketing Director at Skyline Communications. “And this means only one thing, there is simply no room for compromises if one is determined to succeed. The subscribers need the best, and the operators need to be able to see to it that they get that. Continuous monitoring of service quality and availability has become indispensable, and a plethora of performance testing and analysis solutions is available from various vendors, each of them specialized in a specific domain. But there is only one solution that allows operators to tie that mélange into one single consolidated platform, and that is DataMiner. With DataMiner you can rest assured that all QoS and QoE metrics that you need, across all domains and types of probes, can be collected in one environment. DataMiner provides you with one set of professional tools to intelligently process that data to render it useful, including alarm management, intuitive consolidated topological displays with integrated video thumbnails, cross correlation, comprehensive web and e-mail reporting, and much more.”
