Marseille-based Wyplay has served as system integrator for a new Android set-top box released by Sky in New Zealand.
The new Sky Box is bringing state-of-the-art features to New Zealand with 4K, modern and personalised user experience, streaming apps integration, multi-recording and voice remote.
In 2021, Sky NZ changed from Linux to Android TV. This new product combines the efforts of Sky and Wyplay with Irdeto, Kaon, Broadcom, and Netflix.
Wyplay Middleware provided its DVB expertise by providing and integrating the DVB and PVR software stack into the Sky Android TV box, while Wyplay Professional Services worked with the Sky Digital UI team on Sthe ky box Android TV Custom Launcher.
“This project is the perfect showroom of what Wyplay can bring to operators and partners when talking about Android TV projects: System Integration, DVB expertise, Custom Launcher, apps integration, etc…” said Jacques Bourgninaud, CEO of Wyplay. He concluded with: “Wyplay is pleased to have collaborated on such challenging and key project.”
Sophie Moloney, CEO of Sky, added: “This was a great help to have professionals like Wyplay onboard. We are so proud of the work executed by the Sky teams together with Wyplay, in order to deploy the Sky Box to our subscribers.”
Wyplay will now work with Sky on the evolutions of the Sky product range, including the maintenance of Android TV.
