Vantiva’s market share of set-top boxes powered by Android TV has reached 25%.
The manufacturer, spun out of Technicolor and is now part-owned by Commscope, has announced its sold 22 million units to date. Along the way, Vantiva has implemented more than 30 upgrades and provided the most Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ certifications in the industry.
“Vantiva has been a significant partner in bringing the Android TV experience to customers around the world,” said Shalini Govil-Pai, vice president of TV, Google. “Vantiva reached an impressive milestone, and we’re looking forward to continuing to bring innovation and entertainment to viewers for years to come.”
Since 2020, Vantiva contributed to the development and deployment of the Google Common Broadcast Stack software platform across a wide array of customer premises equipment (CPE) and consumer electronics devices used to access video services. The Google Broadcast Stack allows NSPs to integrate traditional broadcast streams and conditional access systems (CAS) with over-the-top (OTT) services to manage complexity and create more intuitive viewing experiences for subscribers.
“Android TV represents a profound shift for consumers and NSPs by delivering a unified, user-friendly platform with advanced features, such as voice search and content personalization, transforming TVs into smart, versatile entertainment hubs,” said Leopold Diouf, senior vice president of the product division at Vantiva. “Vantiva has earned the reputation of delivering innovative entertainment experiences for consumers and operators, as shown by our NaviGate IQ app that provides insight into consumer viewing habits through data analytics and machine learning.”
Vantiva developed its first STB powered by Android TV in 2015 with SVELTE, followed by JADE in 2020, which is available with Google Assistant for voice control. In 2022, Vantiva introduced SOUNDSCAPE, which combined a STB and soundbar into a single device.
