New Projects
In a previous post we discussed some problems we had with High-definition Set-Top-Box we plan to use for our IPTV work. After several days of work, digging network traffic dumps and patching middle-ware components we can safely say, we fixed this problem. But a new problem emerges. We are currently working on a permanent solution to rework the whole device firmware with the device manufacturer. Great thanks to Michael and John for the cooperation and understanding.
Until we finish that, we plan to release a product targeted at Telcos/ISPs that will take care of acquisition of data for IPTV networks. We would like to provide full, flexible IPTV solution for different setups. Starting from Telcos/ISPs and going “down” to public buildings, advertisement and entertainment installations. Organising appliance requires more than just putting it all together. We want it to have nice look and feel, be intuitive to work with, save you more troubles than it causes. A preliminary design is ready. Some of the prototyping too.
What is more interesting about this appliance is that we will use it to introduce internal project we’ve been working on for some time now. We are talking about secure, centralised configuration solution, scalable enough to handle datacenters. Our goal is to lower the bar for system administration of large number of devices, make it accessible and comfortable. We have several more devices planned down the road that will probably follow the same architectural schematics and depending on the success of this we may even provide stand-alone builds of the configuration system as separate product.
Stay tuned !
