Tecsidel has carried out Support and Maintenance tasks for Ericsson’s Management System. The platform is responsible for operating and supervising the exchanges in the GSM and UMTS networks of several mobile operators in Spain.
Tecsidel, which already had experience in similar tasks, was hired to support, maintain and update the tools that automate the collection, processing and configuration of data from several different types of exchanges. The user-customized tools facilitate and control the daily tasks made by those who are in charge of operating with the exchanges. We provide support for any exchange-related event directly to the user.

- Vía Digital
The projects developed by our Interactive Digital TV Division for Via Digital has always had a high technological level and added value. This is evidenced by the fact that we have taken part in the development of the TV Digital operator's key and interactive applications and systems. Our relationship with Via Digital for six consecutive years has been consolidated in several areas or lines of work, such as:
- Consultancy
- Interactive Applications
- Integration of Interactive Services Platforms
- BackOffice
The principal interactive applications developed for Via Digital by Tecsidel’s Interactive Digital TV Division were: EPG (Electronic Program Guides), Interactive Portals, T-Commerce (tele-banks and IPPV applications), Music Guides, Stand-Alone Channels (interactive news applications), interactive applications combined with real time video (Enhanced TV), interactive games and advertising.

- Digital Plus
The applications allow listening to all of the music channels and also provide real time information on the song that is being broadcasted in the tuned in channel. Tecsidel, a company that specializes in information technology, and in providing products and services for the digital and multimedia world, has developed Music Guides that are executed in digital platform decoders. To that end, Tecsidel had to work on the two operative systems that support the platform. A new conception of music guides.
ST&Hilo’s new Music Guide service is a very complete and user-friendly interactive application. In addition to enabling users to tune in to Digital+ music channels, it gives extra information on the songs they are listening to. The meta-data that is displayed on the songs are given in real time by ST&Hilo's broadcasting systems.
The information available for each song is: the title, the song recording singer, the song writer, the year the record that the song recording belongs to was released, the title of the record that the song recording belongs to. In addition to the above references, a picture of the record cover that the song recording belongs to is also shown.
In addition to the interactive applications made in OpenTV and MediaHighway, Tecsidel has developed systems that gather information and images provided by ST&Hilo, process it, and send it to the interactive applications.

- Alcatel
Tecsidel has developed the GOOSE (Grade of Operating Services Evaluation) for Alcatel's Switching and Routing Division.
The system comprises a series of tools that enable the operator to analyze the quality of network services. That is, it transforms data incoming from a network element, stores it in an organized manner in a database and processes it.
The purpose of the system is to use the data produced by a network element to carry out a good analysis of the network's quality of service. The quality of service analysis consists in evaluating how well the demand for several services adapts to the network's available resources. Demand may be expressed by attempts or by traffic (erlangs or bit/s) and resources may be considered as the servers. Service protocols may vary. In whichever way data is collected, the quality of service analysis is executed in batches, not real time, because timed integration is needed to streamline daily variations.
One of the key features of the GOOSE system is its flexibility when processing data inputs in different formats. That is why we are considering extending the project so GOOSE can process a variety of text type data (up to now, all formats were binary) and to extend the specialized processing.

- ONO
Tecsidel’s Digital TV Division has implemented the integration of the Liberate Digital TV platform for Ono, the largest broadband integrated telecom services provider -telephone, television and Internet- in Spain. The project consisted in the installation and integration of interactive head-end services with the platform.
Tecsidel also developed a series of interactive applications on Liberate’s Digital TV Platform. The project comprised the development of applications and the integration of the operator's head-end. The result was a sophisticated Interactive Program Guide (IPG): a powerful quick guide to programming (ChannelBar) and a comprehensive configuration and user management application. After that project, Tecsidel became part of an elite group of high performance application developers for Liberate’s Digital TV Platform. The project was carried out by Tecsidel's Digital Television Division, whose team of more than 30 highly qualified professionals offer great added value to our clients. Some of the major TV operators in Spain are our clients.
According to Ramon Montoro, Tecsidel’s Digital TV Division's CEO, this experience makes us leaders in strategic Digital Television projects in Spain and enables us to provide top level technology and actual experience in platform development and integration and interactive application development.

- R
Tecsidel carried out a valuable study of the digital interactive services that a cable operator can offer their clients.
As a benchmark company in the Interactive Digital TV market in Spain, Tecsidel carried out a consultancy to define the series of Digital Interactive Services that would be included in the operator's future digital offer. The outcome was a novel concept in Interactive Services, in which user-friendliness took precedence, and which enabled R to start up their interactive deployment project under highly favorable conditions.
