Amedia gateway delivers IPTV for service providers

http://www.cedmagazine.com/toc-IP_Capsule/2007/20070110.html

Not lacking for ambition, Amedia Networks was at CES positioning its Broadband Entertainment Center, an all-in-one gateway, home networking appliance, and personal media library, as a replacement for the computer as the media hub and central point of networking within the connected home.

The product combines modem, router, wireless access point, and VoIP adapter, and stores and organizes content. It incorporates Ultrawideband (UWB) technology to distribute HDTV signals to various home entertainment and media devices throughout the home.

Unlike other manufacturers enabling over-the-top broadcasts, Amedia is explicitly friendly to service providers. It says carriers can tap into the Broadband Entertainment Center's operating system to allow subscribers to surf the Web on their televisions.

Amedia went on to say that service providers can also deliver through the Amedia gateway proprietary or third-party software programs and networking capabilities to subscribers, such as in-home messaging, remote home monitoring, a virtual family calendar, personalized family firewall, and much more
