Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited has said that it has signed a partnership agreement with Philips to offer Blu-ray middleware and solution development services around Philips' developed Blu-ray technology. Wipro will enter the Blu-ray market with sub-licensing rights to offer Blu-ray middleware to its customers.
In its statement, Wipro said that the entry barrier in the space is high due to a significant dormant period before a company can enter into this market. Through this partnership with Philips, Wipro will be able to reduce the time-to-market for the requirements of its customers. Wipro's competencies in the consumer electronics domain has over 30 licenses for digital TV middleware stacks such as ATSC, OpenCable, DVB-T/C/S/CI, MHEG-5 and ISDB-T/S. The company said it has been working with leading consumer electronics customers, providing product design services in digital home entertainment products and has developed and deployed several digital TV compliant solutions across the United States, Europe and Japan. |
