ETSI TISPAN
Since its creation in 2003,
ETSI TISPAN (Telecommunications and Internet converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking) has been the key standardization body in creating the Next Generation Networks (NGN) specifications. TISPAN IPTV specifications answer the emerging market needs such as triple-play and quadruple-play service offers: access independent solutions, integration in a multi-service environment, availability of enhanced services combining features from every component of the triple/quadruple-play offers. TISPAN defines two IPTV solutions: an IPTV dedicated subsystem focused on the integration of existing market solutions in an NGN environment; and an IMS-based IPTV solution allowing blending the TV services with other Telecommunication services (e.g. voice, presence, and data services).
