STB Staging/Testing
 In Brief…
This advanced process automation solution consists of hardware, specialized software and a proprietary process which, in combination, automate the otherwise tedious process of testing and staging new and churned digital TV set-top boxes in order to quickly and efficiently deploy them to digital TV subscribers.
Is this Solution for you?
Candidates for this solution include cable, telco and other service operators utilizing large volumes of digital set-top boxes to deliver advanced video broadband services to subscribers.
Why now?
Many operators are experiencing an increased demand for more advanced video services and, hence, are facing larger and larger volumes of new and churned digital TV set-top boxes. In addition, these set-tops boast advanced features such as HD capability, multiple digital and analog tuners, PVR functionality with built-in hard-drives and many other features that render the boxes more complicated to test thoroughly. Moreover, in an effort to reduce costs, many of the latest set-top box models have limited, if any, user interface display, which makes testing and staging even more tedious and time-consuming.
