T-Mobile Czech/Slovak Telekom opt for 24i

March 11, 2020 07.28 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom have deployed the next generation 24i Smart Operator product.

It will be used to provide IPTV and TV Anywhere to T-Mobile TV Go, Magio Go and Digi Go customers in the two countries.

The deployment has now gone live on iOS, Android, Android TV, web and Smart TVs from Samsung, as well as Linux and Android IPTV set-top-boxes (STBs).

24i has provided a single code base approach across all three of the T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom services and includes data-driven content optimisation, discovery and engagement tools including recommendations, analytics, targeted content and audience measurement.

Commenting on the development, Marcel Satanek, head of PM connected home&terminal management, Slovak Telekom, said: “24i Smart Operator provides us with a productised solution that provides a next-generation, personalised video experience for each subscriber.

“A key motivation for choosing the solution is it’s unique ability to enable a ‘develop once, deploy everywhere’ content workflow, effortlessly handle device proliferation, legacy and third-party integrations, while providing instant access to new technologies and platform capabilities. Furthermore, Smart Operator has the ability to manage the linear and on-demand content services for all three brands via a single centralised back-end system. By combining the functionality to provide IPTV and TV Everywhere, 24i saves us time and effort managing our services and the power and flexibility of their solution enables us to provide our customers with an incredible video experience on all devices, both now and in the future”.

Martijn van Horssen, joint-CEO of 24i, added: “I am thrilled that Slovak Telekom is the first, large-scale multinational to deploy our new, next-generation Smart Operator product.

“We worked very closely with the Slovak Telekom and T-Mobile Czech Republic project teams to ensure that our platform provides all the functionality they need, as well new features that really excite customers such as continue watching (cross-platform), binge viewing, view showtimes and recordings to a STB or the cloud. Before creating our solution for operators, providing a unified experience across territories and so many devices would have required a massive engineering effort. Both operators are already seeing the benefits of combining IPTV and TV Everywhere in one platform with powerful branding capabilities. We’re looking forward to ensuring that the T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom video experiences we are powering continue to excite and attract consumers throughout the region.”
