ALi Corporation today announced it has joined forces with Huawei, and started mass production shipping of a DVB-T2 set-top box solution to a national telecommunication operator for deployment in the Republic of Belarus.
Taipei, Taiwan, January 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) solution provider, today announced it has joined forces with Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solution provider, and started mass production shipping of a DVB-T2 set-top box solution to a national telecommunication operator for deployment in the Republic of Belarus.
In the Republic of Belarus with about 3.7 million television households, digital TV broadcasting is being rolled out and analog switch-off is scheduled to complete by 2015. Free DTT service in DVB-T standard started in 2009, and the state-owned Belarusian incumbent telecomm operator is launching a pay DTT service in 2013 using DVB-T2 standard. Furthermore, two neighboring countries, Russia and Ukraine, are also rolling out DTT in the T2 standard. One major challenge in the DTT deployment that these countries face is the supply of quality set-top boxes.

Now partnering with ALi to supply DVB-T2 set-top boxes to viewers in the Republic of Belarus, we aim to gain a stronger hold on the growing STB markets in the country and surrounding CIS member states.”
