PerceptionTV and Abox42 partner to provide a fully integrated end-to-end solution.
The Perception platform pre-integrated into Abox42’s M Series smart set-top-box platform was showcased at CommunicAsia.
The joint platform, engineered in house by both parties, provides a splatform targeting operators who require a multiscreen service. The partnership also delivers a dedicated deployment and support team designed to remove the requirement for specialist IP broadcast expertise within the operator.
The Abox42 M Series and the Perception platform deliver a complete IPTV/OTT multiscreen TV service integrating the four key components of TV: live TV; catch-up TV; video-on-demand and cloud-based or physical PVR into one intuitive user-interface. This fully scalable IPTV platform delivers content to any connected device anywhere, anytime. The joint platform allows both established TV providers and start-up businesses to launch a branded service within a few months, delivering advanced live and on demand services rapidly and cost effectively.
Perception also provides the capability to deliver video entertainment services on a global scale utilising its regionalisation and distributed edge caching technology that removes the requirement for CDN services. Customers will also benefit from the latest technology set-top-box’s combined with Perception’s capability to provide a seamless multiscreen viewing experience. This will allow customers to begin watching TV at home on a traditional TV set and pick up exactly where they left off on a mobile device at a time convenient to the user.
“TV is changing. People want to watch programmes and video anywhere, anytime so operators need to be agile enough to deliver this dynamic TV experience,” said John Mills, CEO PerceptionTV Ltd.
“Our joint IPTV/OTT multiscreen platform with Abox42 can ease this transition, offering an innovative and scalable end-to-end solution quickly and cost effectively. We recognise the importance of multiscreen viewing as much as we recognise that there is still a need for a high quality viewing experience on the main screen at home – this partnership ticks all the boxes for the user and adds enormous value to the operator.”
Matthias Greve, CEO Abox42 added: “For us it is a great step to partner with PerceptionTV, since they are a recognised player in the multiscreen market with vast experience in delivering complete and exciting propositions to operators. The combination of Abox42’s set-top-box platform delivering a feature rich, future proof and secure solution to the first screen, along with Perception’s ability to seamlessly integrate the wireless devices, provides operators with exactly what they need.”
