Motorola profits up and new STB at SCTE 09
Not only are the profits of Motorola up and they are seeing a third quarter profit, but at SCTE Expo this year they unveiled a new all digital STB that is designed to help cable operators migrate to an all digital network and accelerate delivery of the much beloved personal media experiences and multi-room DVR capabilities.
According to Larry Robinson, who has the longest title we have ever seen, (VP and general manager, America’s Digital STB, Motorola Home and Networks Mobility) Motorola’s innovation is driven by the evolving needs of our customers, and this new digital set-top is no exception.
We will spare you the technical details but what this new STB actually means to the consumer is that you will be more likely to get advanced features/services from your cable operator because of the flexibility of this STB. In the end you might not think much about the STB, but it (and the software inside of it) really does dictate the features you get through your TV and all those cool things you say you want (a personal media experience, sound, networking options) when you are with your friends. – JLH
