Alticast to demo Android TV for pay-TV

August 30, 2016 14.51 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Alticast will greet visitors to IBC with a new Android TV system designed for pay-TV.

The demo will highlight improvements to user experience and an intelligent personal assistant that can execute individual tasks or services.

Alticast is merging an operator-based UX with the opportunity to access approved Android applications, as well as a new, unique ambient personalisation experience.

The company will also will be showing a hospitality solution that embeds guest automation services leveraging IoT systems, as part of its suite of enterprise IoT and media solutions.

There’s a new hospitality UX, which demonstrates how a hotel guest can use voice commands to find salient info about their location including weather, nearby restaurant reservations, and VOD recommendations. This experience exemplifies a sophisticated, future-driven Alticast IoT framework. It’s also a far cry from what’s on offer in some hotels.
