HUNTSVILLE, AR – Madison County Telephone Company (MCTC) has selected the APMAX Middleware solution from Innovative Systems for its transition from RF cable to a fiber-based IPTV solution.

According to MCTC’s Scott Hamby there have been a couple of key factors in making the transitions
smoothly. Hamby says, “We are plowing fiber to our customer’s homes and are being very meticulous
about rewiring the homes with Cat 5 to every TV and either running it back to the ONT or back to a
centralized switch in their home and making sure that if there are any grounding issues that we get
those get fixed.” This has gotten MCTC off to a good start with their new IPTV service with a minimal
amount of trouble calls thus far.”

For MCTC’s 900+ video customers who have had standard RF cable for years the picture clarity has
been a welcome upgrade from their service provider. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive
and everybody loves the Weather App and the better quality picture that they receive.
