Challenges
Solution
Due to the limitations of their first
generation home multimedia device
eye1 (a phone-like device, small
sized LCD, low performance CPU,
not portable, etc), PCCW wanted to
develop a new generation portable
terminal for home use. PCCW wanted
it to be with a large screen,
best-in-class WiFi connectivity, light
weight but with low power demands
to deliver PCCW’s converged
services, such as IPTV, video calls
and multimedia content, to its local
subscribers. They are the very first
one among operators to launch such
services in a WiFi environment.
Technicolor provided the best
end-to-end solution for PCCW. Not
only did we develop the new
generation portable multimedia devise
for PCCW, but we also provided a
variety of software applications to help
PCCW customize the service package.
