Ericsson hs signed a deal with operator Ucom to bring interactive TV to viewers in Armenia. Ericsson informed that it will deliver its IPTV solution including GPON technology.

IPTV allows viewers to experience the same type of interactivity on their televisions as they are used to on their PCs, with personalised features such as chat, e-voting, web TV and access to social media networks.

Ericsson noted that the IPTV solution for Ucom will also give viewers access to a flexible, customised portal that offers a range of broadcast channels, video-on-demand, an electronic programme guide and personal video-recording capabilities.

The IPTV services will be delivered via a fibre-access technology, known as Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON), supplied by Ericsson.

GPON allows the consumer to watch several HDTV channels, download large files from the internet and place voice calls simultaneously without service disruptions, the company explained.

Rollout will start in July 2009.
