"As a strong supporter of open technology and Web standards, Espial believes RDK is an essential layer for MSOs to deliver a next-generation user experience to consumers. Cable operators will also benefit from dramatic reductions in time and expense required to quickly deploy advanced STBs in their networks, while simultaneously driving their own user experience roadmap and development cycle," said Jaison Dolvane, President and CEO, Espial. "Our solutions enable cable operators to harness the power of RDK in delivering a richer television experience based on an advanced application framework, user interfaces and social media integration all driven by an IP service delivery platform."
