DS2, has appointed José Calero, as Chief Technology
Officer. José´s professional roots stem from Lucent Technologies’ Bell
Laboratories where he occupied various managerial positions. Prior to joining
DS2 he was CEO/CTO of IngeniaSystem a Spanish IC design service company. With
20 years business and engineering experience, José will build on the resounding success of DS2´s high speed
Power Line Communications (PLC) chips which are leading the world of home video
networks for IPTV and Triple Play services over XDSL and FTTH.
DS2’s revolutionary 200 Mbps technology is currently at the
heart of home networking devices such as Telefonica’s Imagenio IPTV triple play
and video-over-DSL service. According to
Jorge Blasco, DS2 CEO “The Telefonica order is the largest ever placed by an
ADSL operator for IPTV triple play services. We have shipped more than 100k
chip-sets the majority for commercial roll-outs like that of Telefonica; with
José at the helm DS2 will maintain its leading edge in BPL and home networking
markets.”
Other members of the DS2 management team are equally excited
by José´s appointment. “We are the only manufacturer with a Video capable
technology. Unlike other PLC alternatives, we support Class of Service to allow
multiple simultaneous video and data channels. This unique feature of our
technology is extremely important for operators: it makes it possible to
address multiple TV households and allows simultaneous IPTV services in
apartment buildings. Assigning a high calibre, experienced CTO will improve our
internal procedures and allow us to maximize on the opportunities offered by
the benefits inherent in the DS2 technology.” stated José Maria Llopis,
Director of Marketing and Sales.
“DS2 excels because we offer a technology which really
solves the problems of home networking” commented Victor Dominguez, Director of
Standardization. “It has strong coverage for HDTV around the home, unlike WiFi,
and it is the only PLC technology on the market designed to be EMC friendly
world-wide. Having a CTO on board with the vision and the experience to
continue to meet market demands with design and engineering firsts is important
for DS2 and its customers.”
