Thomson win major contract for StarHub Digital Cable Services Project

Thomson have been selected by StarHub, Singapore's only cable TV operator, as the key technology partner in the launch of StarHub's digital cable services and the continued expansion of Singapore's largest video distribution facility.
Through this contract, Thomson will provide professional equipment and integration services to enable StarHub to convert its nearly 400,000 cable TV subscribers to digital in the year ahead.
The $16 million deal includes the installation of a full range of Grass Valley router, router control and modular products from Thomson as well as Nextream encoders and multiplexing technology, also from Thomson. Additionally, StarHub has appointed Thomson Broadcast & Media Solutions as the prime contractor and overall systems integrator of its digital cable Services facility, which will augment StarHub's $600 million broadband network. Other services currently offered on the StarHub network include cable TV, MaxOnline high-speed cable modem and digital voice services.
"We selected Thomson based on its established engineering expertise in digital acquisition, production, compression and transmission," said Thomas Ee, StarHub's Senior Vice President, Online Services. "When considering a project of this size, it was important to us that the system integrator has a strong local sales and support presence and the technical knowledge to make it all work. Thomson also distinguished itself because of its extensive product range, representing an important single technology source for us."
