TecAce licenses Comcast RDK for providing IP TV set-top box development service

Feb. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- TecAce Software (http://www.tecace.com), a leader in embedded system development, has licensed Comcast’s Reference Design Kit (RDK) software stack for powering IP TV set-top boxes and video-playing device platforms from market leading OEMs. This agreement will enable TecAce to provide software development, integration and testing services to set-top box and chip manufacturers as well as MSOs who are planning to take advantage of the RDK initiative.

Comcast licenses the RDK to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), semiconductor manufacturers, software vendors and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) to create a community of innovators focused on bringing rich, multi-screen TV home entertainment experiences to consumers faster.
