LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 03/05/13 -- Cable Congress, 5-7 March 2013 -- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced that Telenet, a leading cable TV operator in Belgium, has selected the Cisco Videoscape™ Snowflake user interface to provide advanced navigation of content and services across their platform.

  • Jan Vorstermans, COO, Telenet:
    "With more content choice, our aim is to provide a simplified, feature-rich experience to complement our premium content offering. With Videoscape Snowflake and the support of Cisco, we are confident that we will have an experience that supersedes anything else in the market. It was very important for us to bring this experience to our existing customer base by using Videoscape Snowflake on our current platform through our collaboration with our local software partners."

  • Yves Padrines, vice president and general manager, EMEAR, Service Provider Video Technology Group, Cisco:
    "As the industry and the technology landscape grows, we risk losing subscribers' attention in a complex mix of electronic program guides, apps and widgets. We strongly believe that the user experience must remain intuitive and central to the platform, whatever the device. Telenet is taking important steps to enhance their platform and position the customer at the centre of the service. We are excited to partner with and support them through this transformation."
