Minerva Networks, the leading provider of open IPTV services management platforms, today announced that it has added three new systems integrators in the Middle East to support the growing number of installations in the region of its iTVManager platform, the most deployed IPTV solution worldwide.

ACT in Egypt, Bond Communications in the United Arab Emirates, and Mannai in Qatar have completed iTVManager training and are integrating several end-to-end IPTV delivery systems in their respective countries.

Minerva is building a worldwide network of qualified system integrators who can enable broadband operators to quickly and successfully deploy IPTV services with Minerva certified ecosystems. Minerva’s ecosystem partners offer complementary components -- from set-boxes, conditional access systems, video servers and value-added applications -- to the Company’s IPTV service management and delivery software. Third-party developers are bringing to market a variety of converged entertainment and communications applications for Minerva’s iTVManager platform.
