Pace wins next-generation contract from BT
Pace Micro Technology, the Saltaire-based set-top box maker, has won a contract from BT to supply its next-generation 'V-box'. Delivery is expected to begin next year.
The device will receive and record high-definition TV programmes via Freeview and BT's IPTV service.
BT's previous contract was with box maker Philips, which Pace acquired last month in a 68m deal.
BT Vision chief executive Dan Marks said: "Our medium-term goal is to secure two to three million subscribers for our BT Vision service and we are looking forward to making this vision a reality in co-operation with Pace."
Neil Gaydon, Pace's chief executive, said: "The hybrid model of providing the latest interactive services alongside digital terrestrial programming is a very compelling one. We are excited to be working with BT to bring this advanced product to market."
