Service providers want to deploy their IPTV solutions as quickly and cost effectively as possible. They also want the flexibility to offer stable, best-of-breed subscriber-experience applications from any vendor, as well as the scalability that will allow their IPTV solution to handle a growing number of subscribers.

What if there was an IPTV Middleware Integration and Management platform that worked seamlessly with any IPTV Middleware, facilitated rapid deployment, and provided the flexibility and scalability service providers require?

180SQUARED’s v.Maestro is an IPTV Middleware Integration and Management Platform that enables service providers to rapidly integrate the necessary systems and applications to offer high-quality IPTV services, protect the Quality of Service (QoS) of their IPTV Middleware, and manage the overall network implementation.

The v.Maestro IPTV Middleware Integration and Management Platform contains:

A User Interface Manager to view, manage, and administer the IPTV middleware platform interactions with internal systems and third party applications, such as, Billing, CRM, Inventory, Content Management Systems, and v. Crescendo or other third party applications.           

A Role Based Authentication Platform that ensures users are limited to interfacing with the system only to the extent that their permissions allow (e.g., a Customer Service Representative should not be able to delete a channel map).

A Job Manager that allows for Complex Workflow and Business Campaign Management (e.g., schedule and set parameters for network maintenance jobs or create, manage and execute complex promotional campaigns for subscribers).

An Account History Manager that enables auditing of changes to a subscriber’s services (e.g., a CSR logged into the system yesterday and authorized Subscriber A to upgrade to an HBO package).

A Device Management System that enables remote Set-Top Box management, such as force tunes, reboots, upgrades, sending messages, and general device status information.

The 180SQUARED Framework, which is a middleware-agnostic, encapsulation layer that exposes a Service Oriented Architecture to allow for an agile, extensible and scalable development platform. The 180SQUARED Framework provides:

• QoS monitoring and load-bearing management
• Policing functions
• A consistent set of APIs for development and integration
• Greater extensibility and scalability

v.Maestro is the centralized integration and management platform to reduce the time and complexity of integrating and managing B/OSS systems and value-add applications into a service provider’s IPTV middleware as part of the overall IPTV implementation.
