Qatar communications company Ooredoo has selected the Metrological Application Platform to launch and manage its cloud-based Mozaic TV app store.
The Ooredoo-branded TV app store will go live on Ooredoo?s next generation STBs in Qatar.
Ooredoo?s Next Generation Mozaic TV is a TV entertainment service in Qatar, combining international, Arabic and Asian satellite packages, catch-up TV and premium-on-demand content onto a single platform. Ooredoo?s TV app store will be integrated into the Mozaic TV user experience, which combines existing native apps with an expanded app library of popular and local apps and OTT content.
By deploying Metrological?s cloud-based TV app platform, Ooredoo will be able to offer customers a wider selection of apps than ever before. The Ooredoo app store will be available to Mozaic TV customers using next-generation STBs, with plans in place to expand the service to legacy devices and other new devices in the future.
“?We pride ourselves on offering innovative features and world-class entertainment packages that give our customers access to all of their content in one place,?” said Waleed Al Sayed, CEO, Ooredoo Qatar.
“?Ooredoo continues to deploy cutting-edge cloud solutions to deliver smart services for the people of Qatar, and this agreement with Metrological provides us with the flexibility to customize the portfolio of apps on offer, deliver an enhanced customer experience and gives us the scalability to continue to expand the digital universe of apps offered on Mozaic TV.?”
“?We are pleased to provide Ooredoo with our cloud-based Application Platform, which will enable them to offer content that reflects the unique personal interests of its subscriber base,”? said Jeroen Ghijsen, CEO of Metrological.
“?Metrological brings the app experience front and center with apps acting as a content feed to the main TV viewing experience. Our platform ensures that Ooredoo can expand its app offerings by leveraging the cloud instead of deploying more expensive STBs to facilitate native app solutions that can?t scale.?”
