ATIS Releases IPTV Architecture Document

ATIS has released its its IPTV High Level Architecture document, which is a high level architectural framework for end-to-end systems’ implementation and interoperability. It will serve as reference architecture for the IPTV functional specifications to be defined in separate documents.

This document is available from the document center on the ATIS website for $108 for non members.

This work is important but rather after the fact. Most major carriers have already committed to IPTV architectures. They will have to evolve the pre standard implementations to standards over time.
