A1 Telekom Austria Group has deployed Edgeware’s advanced online TV solutions to help maximise audience reach for its new content and streaming platform, A1 Xplore TV.
Launched in March this year, the platform offers a unified content and streaming platform across IPTV and DVB-C networks, iOS and Android apps, and Google Chromecast in several Central and Eastern European markets.
Commenting on the development, Alexander Stock, CTO at A1, said: “As we make the move from IPTV to OTT, we’ve chosen to extend our partnership with Edgeware as our trusted CDN technology provider and repackaging supplier.
“StreamBuilder’s rich support for each individual format’s multiple variations makes it an essential component of the A1 Xplore TV content delivery workflow and, together with Edgeware’s OTT CDN, allows us to deliver glitch-free streaming to any device and boost our market reach”.
Karl Thedéen, CEO at Edgeware, added: “In today’s competitive streaming marketplace where audiences require on-the-go TV viewing and compatibility across various devices, our OTT CDN and StreamBuilder platform are key enablers and important prerequisites for the next generation of online TV.
“As we evolve from our IPTV CDN business, we’re excited to continue supporting A1 Telekom Austria Group on its mission to grow its brand across Central and Eastern Europe”.
