Switzerland’s national telco Swisscom has extended its agreement with 3 Screen Solutions (3SS), a German provider of customised software solutions and services to the multiscreen digital entertainment industry, for the development of new services enhancing the user experience of Swisscom’s multiscreen IPTV platform.
3SS had earlier been appointed by Swisscom as software developer of the viewer interface for Swisscom TV 2.0 which won several awards following its launch in 2014.
As part of the project based on an Android set-top-box (STB) solution, the company developed frontends for STBs, iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 smartphones as well as iOS and Android tablets.
The aim for the renewed development programme with 3SS is to leverage new technologies, applications and innovations including Ultra HD (UHD) and cloud-based services.
