RGB and Divitel Partner to Deploy Next-Generation Network
for the Delivery of High-quality Video Services

London, United Kingdom – February 11, 2009 – RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, today announced that United Telecommunication Services (UTS), the parent company of TDS, the wireless cable service provider servicing the Dutch islands of Curaçao and Bonaire, has deployed RGB’s Broadcast Network Processor (BNP) as a key element of its next-generation video delivery network.

Working with Divitel, RGB’s system integration partner in the Netherlands, UTS has migrated its TDS system to a fully digital, IP-based platform. RGB’s BNP, offering high density grooming, statistical multiplexing and transrating, enables UTS to offer their subscribers in Curaçao and Bonaire a number of new services, including significantly more high definition (HD) channels at extremely high quality.

“Utilizing RGB’s innovative equipment has helped us to deploy a future-proof IPTV platform for UTS—the solution meets today’s requirements, as well as future demands,” said Hans Kornmann, Chief Executive Officer, Divitel. “The new core system gives the local TDS system a high quality picture performance at excellent operational costs. It’s a technical winner and an excellent basis for a successful cross media business.”

Mr. Lyrio Gomez, Director of Carriers and Service providers for UTS added, “With this new platform, UTS is ready for the future. We now have a huge advantage over our competitors; and technically speaking, both CAPEX and OPEX are in balance, thanks to the optimal guidance of Divitel and advanced technology from RGB Networks.”

“The success at UTS Curaçao is another excellent example of how RGB’s solutions can help operators to meet their biggest technical challenges and help them to serve their subscribers with the highest level of video services,” said Sarah Hackforth, Vice President of EMEA for RGB Networks.  “We look forward to announcing further deployments with Divitel and our network of partners throughout Europe.”
