Siemens to Deliver its First Home Entertainment Solution to Belgacom

For its TV-centric online services, Siemens is working with Myrio for the middleware to enable the application, nCube for the Video on Demand server, Verimatrix for content protection system, and Tandberg Television for the video broadcast equipment. http://www.siemens.com
