“Having now been selected by 75 carriers around the world, Celeno has unmistakably demonstrated that its chip portfolio and embedded technology is established as the world-class solution for distributing video in the home,” said Gilad Rozen, CEO of Celeno. “With the explosive growth of IPTV worldwide, we expect our solutions to extend even further.”
