EchoStar Inks tru2way Deal



EchoStar Technologies said it signed a tru2way Host Device License Agreement with CableLabs, giving the company the rights to implement the OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP) middleware and CableCARD interface on devices using tru2way technology.

Tru2way technology is a software platform that enables cable interactive services to be delivered to two-way plug and play TVs, set-top boxes and other devices. Tru2way also creates a national footprint for the creators of interactive services to develop products that work on cable systems.

"We are firmly committed to becoming a vendor of choice in the cable industry, leveraging decades of systems and manufacturing excellence," said EchoStar President Mark Jackson.

Major cable operators have committed to support the tru2way platform on systems covering more than 90 million U.S. homes by the end of 2008.
