The MediaPoint Broadband Entertainment Solution is:

2Wire Media Software

This software platform enables a fully-converged experience of Internet video and local media on the television, all through a unified, provider-branded user interface. Satisfy the hunger for entertainment without leaving the house or logging on to the PC — browse and download movies from provider and partner online content stores for viewing on the TV, or watch online streaming video optimized for the TV, all from the convenience of the TV set.

2Wire Service Management System (SMS)

Streamline backend logistics and operations while enhancing subscriber experience. SMS integrates with your account management and billing systems, as well as content distribution and licensing systems, to deliver efficient subscriber service activation, account creation, authentication, billing, and near-instantaneous content delivery. In addition, SMS can drive additional revenue opportunities with its recommendation engine and content pre-roll, post-roll, and overlay advertising support.

MediaPoint Digital Media Player

The MediaPoint digital media player is the physical heart of the broadband entertainment solution, with support for SD and HD TV interfaces, wired and wireless network connectivity, internal storage, and more. 2Wire Media Software is rapidly portable onto any set-top box configuration, so you can choose the hardware that fits your offering, pricing, and deployment schedule. We work collaboratively with hardware vendors from the outset to ensure that your solution is ready for primetime.

Grow Your Media Service Revenue Sooner

MediaPoint can be a cost-effective way to quickly deploy bundled “triple-play” services to your subscribers. Since content can be delivered over existing lines, there is no costly IPTV infrastructure to deploy. Utilizing existing infrastructure saves money and time, allowing your media service to get to market faster.

Vanilla No More: Customize Your Offering

The MediaPoint broadband entertainment solution is flexible, so you can customize options for your brand and your unique service offering.

MediaPoint supports a robust range of broadband media services, including Internet-based video-on-demand. Subscribers can browse, select, and download DVD-quality movies and TV shows, to watch whenever they want, right on their TV sets. MediaPoint also optimizes online streaming video for the TV, making the best content on the Web even better on the TV. Enable customized Web-based services, from online radio to legal music downloading and even photo-sharing services, to increase subscriber stickiness and build affinity for your brand.

Seamless Integration

MediaPoint seamlessly integrates content from existing content stores, partners, and the home network into the entertainment experience. After deployment, tight integration with SMS enables new stores, channels, and services to be integrated just as seamlessly without any service disruption — no reboots, clicks, or trips off the sofa necessary.

Hardware Agnostic

2Wire Media Software is hardware agnostic — modular middleware rapidly portable to any standard STB architecture. Select the hardware and features that are the best fit for your offering and price point. And by leveraging our extensive ODM expertise — we can take the lead on hardware reference and industrial design, production management, fulfillment, and RMA services — you can further minimize risks associated with deployment.
