Ambit Selects Alticast's AltiCaptor tru2way Middleware Platform

Korean MHP/tru2way specialist, Alticast, says that its AltiCaptor
tru2way middleware platform has been selected by Ambit
Microsystems for its digital cable set-top boxes, targeted at the North
American market (note: Alticast claims that AltiCaptor has been
deployed in over 5 million digital cable, satellite and terrestrial
receivers around the world). According to Alticast, it is working with
Ambit to bring two tru2way-enabled cable set-top boxes to market later
this year: one of the boxes will be a low-priced, single-tuner standard
definition device, and the other will be a high-performance, dual-tuner
HD DVR. "Ambit is pleased to work with Alticast to continue
delivering high-quality and competitive products to our valued cable
customers," Max Cangelosi, Ambit's VP of marketing, said in a
prepared statement. "We believe Alticast's experience and dedication to
the tru2way platform aligns with our vision to help service providers
fully take advantage of innovative new technologies for the subscriber."
