PRNW: US-based Telairity, Inc., the broadcast industry leader in H.264/MPEG4 encoding technology, in partnership with systems integrator Mitter International Ltd., has announced another milestone in providing encoding technology equipment to countries in the Asia-Pacific region: the sale of Telairity encoders and IRDs as the compression/decompression engines for an advanced IPTV video network being installed at multiple locations across Sri Lanka.

Mitter International, based in Colombo, is a leading provider of telecom equipment and after sales support for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Telecom is the island nation’s leading broadband and backbone infrastructure service provider, serving more than six million customers, including many large and small corporations, public sector clients, and retail businesses.

The new live IPTV broadcasting system, implemented by Sri Lanka Telecom on behalf of one of their major clients, links together locations in Colombo, Union Place, Mount Olephant, and Depanama.

According to Mitter International CEO Mindika Hettiarachchi, “Mitter continually evaluates new products that we think might benefit our clients. Telairity’s combination of performance, reliability, quality, and after-sales support made their equipment the clear choice for a client like Sri Lanka Telecom that demands suppliers must not only meet the highest standards of professionalism, but also deliver proven products that provide truly exceptional value over their lifetime.”

Added Steve Wang, Telairity General Manager for Asia-Pacific, “This win at Sri Lanka Telecom, added to earlier wins at other major regional Telco providers, including China Telecom and Thailand’s CAT Telecom, plus the choice of Telairity equipment to stream the most recent 2015 Pacific Games, clearly indicates that Telairity encoders and IRDs have become a leading brand for Asia Pacific companies looking to provide new video services or expand existing operations. This sort of widespread acceptance is a tribute not only to the quality of our solutions, but also to the strong relationships we have formed with partners like Mitter International and customers like Sri Lanka Telecom. We wish to thank both for the opportunity to participate in this important new digital video initiative.”
