[SatNews] An increasing number of provincial and municipal level Chinese cable TV operators are transforming their service into a two-way network in order to compete with new IPTV, over-the-top (OTT), online video and other interactive video business models emerging on the Chinese market.

The deployment, which features Ericsson’s Multiscreen Management Platform and Content Management System, will elevate the viewing experience for Shandong Cable Network’s 21 million subscribers across 17 cities in Shandong province.

In collaboration with China-based Inspur Group, Shandong Cable Network’s prime system integrator, Ericsson’s technology delivers an open, scalable and flexible Multiscreen solution that lets Shandong Cable Network offer a variety of interactive TV experiences including time-shifted TV and compelling Video-On-Demand (VOD) services across a wide range of mobile and fixed devices. The new solution integrates with Inspur Group’s Portal Business and Operations Support System (BOSS) to enable Shandong Cable Network to be more competitive with new services and high quality user experiences.
