Led by industry associations DTG and CAI, the scheme has been developed in collaboration with industry stakeholders across satellite and DTT platforms and major equipment manufacturers. It consists of a test specification underpinned by international standards and a consumer-facing logo. Manufacturers of equipment such as receivers, dSCRs, multi switches, fibre gateways, launch amplifiers and LNBs can display the logo on their products after successfully passing the required tests.
Supported by the leading retailers, the EICS logo will ensures the end-customer can be confident of a high quality of experience; and end-users, such as installers, specifiers, housing associations and platform operators, can use the logo to specify equipment that is compatible with all major satellite and TV services; and therefore interoperable with other EICS equipment.
