Vodafone Deutschland will roll out a multimedia home gateway on its cable network (formerly Kabel Deutschland) integrating TV channels, catch-up TV, video-on-demand (VOD) services and apps from streaming providers in mid-February 2017.
The multiscreen service called GigaTV will be accessible both on TV sets at home as well as on smartphones and tablets, the telco announced in Düsseldorf at the occasion of its quarterly figures release.
German cable company Unitymedia already offers a home gateway for its customers with Horizon while Tele Columbus launched multiscreen platform AdvanceTV in January 2017.
UPDATE: Vodafone Deutschland has announced ProSiebenSat.1 as the first partner for GigaTV with the German media company’s TV channels and VOD service maxdome to form part of the platform.
