Ruckus Wireless has been selected by Telenor, the world's seventh largest mobile operator, to supply Smart Wi-Fi 802.11g systems for the wireless distribution of its popular Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service, offered to subscriber homes throughout
Sweden through the wholly owned subsidiary Bredbandsbolaget. Under the agreement, Ruckus Wireless is supplying Telenor with its award-winning MediaFlex 802.11g Smart Wi-Fi systems. The Ruckus MediaFlex systems are being made available to consumers in
Sweden through Telenor retail outlets, and can be easily self-installed by subscribers. Ruckus-patented Smart Wi-Fi technology was selected by Telenor to reduce installation costs, speed up subscriber acquisition and give customers greater freedom and flexibility over the installation and distribution of its IPTV service within the home. Bredbandsbolaget is a leading provider of broadband services in
Sweden with over 450,000 broadband customers. The company operates an all-IP network providing customers with LAN access of up to 100Mbits/s and DSL access up to 24Mbits/s. It provides a wide range of digital media services such as video on demand, IPTV, music downloads, virtual storage, security services, gaming services and much more. Bredbandsbolaget's fast growing IPTV service delivers consumers a rich menu of scheduled programming and Pay TV services using standard MPEG-2 technology. Telenor currently offers a wide-range of standard definition IPTV channels, each with a data rate of approximately 3.5Mbits/s. A single Ruckus MediaFlex system can support five or more MPEG-4 standard definition multicast IPTV streams simultaneously being transmitted to different TVs within the home. The Ruckus MediaFlex 802.11g system will also support two HD (MPEG-4) IPTV streams concurrently.
