Cabot Communications is a market leader in providing tailored DVB middleware solutions for all current and emerging digital TV products. Cabot software and services are designed to deliver competitive advantage to digital device manufacturers, according to specific market requirements.

Since its inception, Cabot has been at the forefront of MHEG technology, being one of the earliest contributors to the standard. Cabot is actively involved in the development of the return channel specification and is also chairing the development of the HD MHEG profile alongside the DTG. Cabot’s MHEG-based Push VOD system was shortlisted for a CSI 2008 award.

One of the main commercial benefits of MHEG-5 is its complete cost effectiveness in delivering high levels of TV interactivity, allowing operators to offer a whole host of compelling new revenue generating services using genuine open standards technology. This keeps both deployment and running costs low. The scalability and flexibility of MHEG-5 means that its capabilities are constantly expanding and evolving to meet ever changing consumer demands, and Latens will be aligning itself to technology that has already been proven in the market.
