Ramps at Motorola, Cisco, Philips, Tatung, including the first U.S.-based ramp with AT&T, should provide significant momentum to Sigma's top line this quarter and next. UWB chipset strategic to further assert Sigma's leading position in advanced media processors.
Key set-top box vendors including Cisco, Motorola, Philips, and Tatung announced yesterday that their advanced IP set-top boxes based on Microsoft's IPTV Edition Software platform are now ready for volume deployment.
All advanced IP set-top boxes supporting Microsoft's IPTV Edition Software platform are based on Sigma Designs' SoC, in firm's view.
Motorola's VIP series set-top boxes (Sigma Designs inside) are now shipping in volume to several telcos worldwide, ahead of firm's estimate, including at AT&T which represents the first U.S.-based IP STB deployment for Sigma. This Motorola IP set-top box will also ship
at a leading Japan-based telco, among other wins.
Philips' IP set-top box will launch this fall at British Telecom, ahead of firm's original expectation. Cisco IP set-top boxes will be deployed by Deutsche Telekom and AT&T. Both set-top box brands are using Sigma Designs' 8634 chip.
