"This month, Belgacom, the leading telecommunications company in Belgium, will begin deploying 1,000 Linux-based IPTV STBs (Internet protocol television set top boxes) in home test sites located on its DSL network throughout Ghent, Brussels, and Liege. The STBs are being supplied by i3 Micro Technology, and are fitted with a customized user interface (UI) based on Espial's Escape middleware.
i3's third generation Linux-based Mood3 STB incorporates TI's TMS320DM642 DSP-based programmable digital media processor along with an unspecified RISC processor.
