Cable operator Liberty Global plans to work with Samsung, Intel, NDS and Nagravision to build a multimedia home gateway for its digital TV customers in Europe. The multimedia home gateway will be an all-IP platform capable of distributing video, voice and data content throughout the home and to multiple video displays. The user interface will integrate video content, widgets, applications, and an enhanced search and recommendation engine. Samsung will build the multimedia home gateway, which will be powered by the Intel Atom CE Media Processor. The middleware and the user experience will be provided by NDS, based on Flash Technology. Nagravision will provide the conditional access service through Nagra Media Access. This service will support MoCA and Wi-Fi, and participate in the Digital Living Network Alliance ecosystem. The multimedia home gateway is scheduled for deployment in Europe from the first half of 2011 and will join the company's current line-up of digital set-top boxes.
