ATLANTA, Ga. & ORANGEVILLE, Utah--(Business Wire)--
Latens, the market leader in IPTV service delivery platforms,
today announces that IPTV Network Services, LLC., a consortium company
of several IPTV service providers in the state of Utah, has
successfully deployed the Latens ECOsystem (ECO) to enable its IPTV
offering. Latens ECO provides IPTV Networks with a single platform
comprising next generation middleware and Latens' highly regarded
Conditional Access for the secure delivery of advanced content
services.

The affiliates of IPTV Network Services have been offering
state-of-the-art telecommunications services in the state of Utah for
more than 50 years, providing local, long distance, high-speed
Internet, and other business services to over 45,000 residences and

"We are constantly trying to offer our customers the most advanced
services possible, and the deployment of an IPTV service is the next
important step in this commitment," said Brock Johansen, President of
IPTV Network Services, LLC. "We selected the Latens solution because
it offers us the complete package and removed the additional cost and
problems associated with multi vendor integration, enabling us to very
easily and quickly roll-out a compelling IPTV service to our
customers. Latens ECO provides us with a single reliable IPTV
infrastructure protected by the Latens' world-leading Conditional

"The management team at IPTV Network Services realized that the
only way to make a profitable business case in IPTV is to be able to
offer unique revenue generating services. Through thorough analysis
they knew that in order to achieve this goal, they needed to control
their own service creation platform. We are pleased that IPTV Network
Services has selected the ECO solution from Latens," said Dean
Kashlan, VP and GM Americas, Latens. "By taking the hard work out of
launching a new service, Latens ensures that its customers can now
provide an advanced IPTV service with a clear path to profitability in
