Demonstrations and discussions to explore next generation gateways capable of supporting converged entertainment services

BERLIN, Germany ? Speaking at Cable Congress 2009 during the panel discussion ?Universal Service Gateways: Any Service, Any IP Device?, Motorola, Inc. and Virgin Media will explore a simplified and unified approach to delivering advanced home entertainment services and the delivery of a consumer?s personal media experiences ? your content, when and where you want to watch it.

As the number of IP connected devices and converged entertainment services in the home grow, so does the complexity of the gateway and the demands on the home network. The next-generation service delivery gateway architecture being discussed by the two companies is proposed to deliver advanced multimedia services, such as:
* Multi-room TV ? the ability to watch recorded content from any TV or PC in the house
* Converged entertainment services across three screens ? PC, TV and mobile
* Media Mobility ? moving your content from device to device and taking it on-the-go
* Customizable user interfaces.

Visitors to Motorola?s stand (#25) will experience the company?s next-generation technology showcase, developed in conjunction with Virgin Media, which demonstrates the drive towards a less complex delivery of the personalized viewing experience.

?There is a growing consumer trend towards personalized viewing and Motorola is uniquely positioned to enable service providers to deliver personalized, rich media experiences to their customers,? said Chris Kohler, senior director of engineering, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility. ?Connectivity in the home is a given. Motorola brings the intelligence to render the network invisible, with manageable connected devices that allow the consumer to focus on realizing the tremendous potential of IP-based entertainment services.?
