VO, WIZTIVI AND EKT IN JOINT OTT/IPTV OFFERING

Viaccess-Orca, Wiztivi and EKT are collaborating on an end-to-end OTT multiscreen and IPTV solution for pay TV operators and service providers. Viaccess-Orca (VO) is a provider of OTT and TV platforms, content protection and advanced data solutions, Wiztivi specialises in multiscreen user interfaces, and EKT designs and manufactures set-top box solutions. The joint multiplatform/multiscreen TV and DVB hybrid solution aims to help operators accelerate time-to-market for services and meet UX expectations of a new generation of viewers. Viaccess-Orca’s TV Platform delivers TV services to any device across any

network. It includes functionalities for content, service delivery, customer and device management, content personalisation, content protection, and advanced TV analytics and can be deployed on premises or in the cloud. The VO TV Platform, both on premise and in cloud, has been integrated with Wiztivi’s TIMELESSUI cross-platform UI solution and EKT’s Solid TV STB solutions which are based on both Linux and Android. The VO TV Platform and TIMELESSUI integration will allow portability to most targeted environments, including iOS, Android and EKT STB, providing the same user interface and experience across multiple devices.

“It is challenging to deliver content to a growing number of connected devices over different delivery networks. On top of it all, today’s pay TV operators must also provide an exceptional user experience to stand apart from the competition,” said Chem Assayag, EVP marketing and sales at Viaccess-Orca. “Partnering with Wiztivi and EKT, we’ve simplified the management and delivery of next-generation OTT and IPTV services, enabling pay TV operators to drive new revenue streams and increase viewer satisfaction by making the TV experience feature-rich, personalised and consistent across screens.”
