Greenfield Will Deploy VUDU to Its Residential Customers and Provide Instant Access to Thousands of Movies at the Click of a Button
Greenfield Communications, a fast-growing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) company, announced today that it has signed a distribution agreement with VUDU to deliver video on demand (VOD) services to the company's southern California and Arizona customers starting in Q4 2007. Greenfield will market VUDU to its existing customers, install the equipment, and provide hands-on tutorials.
“VUDU delivers what other companies still only dream about — instant digital gratification,” said Mike Powers, Greenfield's president. “The company's extensive relationships with major studios and independent distributors made the decision easy for us. VUDU is what we’ve all been waiting for.”
Since Greenfield employs FTTH GPON access equipment from Calix that is able to deliver over 150Mbps of usable bandwidth, residents in Greenfield communities are poised to receive cutting-edge, high-bandwidth products.
“We're pleased Greenfield selected us to provide on-demand access to Hollywood,” said VUDU co-founder Tony S. Miranz. “Greenfield is an innovative provider of FTTH. This unprecedented deal demonstrates how FTTH providers can add value to their offering by partnering with VUDU.”
VUDU provides instant access to thousands of movies from every major studio and 20 independent and international distributors. The company has been recognized for its large on-demand library, innovative user interface, elegant hardware design, and ease of use. A core benefit of deploying VUDU is that it requires zero development and operational investment.
