Zappware inks deal with Swiss cable operator 022 Télégenève SA ‐ naxoo
First deal for Zappware to include a media player service, which allows TV viewers to play their own content on TV
July 16 2010 ‐ Zappware, the Belgian one‐stop solution provider for interactive Digital TV (iDTV) on multiple TV platforms, has signed a deal with Swiss cable operator 022 Télégenève SA ‐ naxoo for the delivery of a broad range of interactive TV services. The deal includes an Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), a Video‐on-Demand (VOD) service, a Personal Video Recording (PVR) service, and a media player service which is based on DLNA. The PVR service allows recordings to be made on an external hard‐disk that is plugged into the set‐top box over USB. The media player service allows TV viewers to browse and play content that is stored on USB storage devices, PCs or other media servers in their home network. All these services are delivered as part of Zappware's proven Flux solution.
Flux will be deployed on top of the SceneGate advanced set‐top box product of Zappware's trusted partner Albis Technologies.
Patrick Vos, CEO Zappware: "We have been working with Télégenève naxoo for several years and we are pleased to be able to continue our services to naxoo; this time with the deployment of our interactive applications on advanced set‐top box hardware from Albis Technologies. It is also a key deal for us as it includes our own implementation of a media player service, which is essential in our strategy to evolve the operator's set‐top box into a generic media gateway for offering a full range of media assets, from a broad range of content sources and providers."
Salvatore Di Pietro, CEO Albis Technologies: "We are excited that Télégenève naxoo has selected Albis Technologies and we are confident our Swiss partnership will be successful in delivering innovative high quality products to our home market. Albis Technologies’ set‐top box enables our newest customer, Télégenève naxoo to deliver avant‐garde services to its customers; the modular design allows complementary features such as external hard‐disk drive to be easily added."
Phong Pham, CTO Télégenève ‐ naxoo: "Now comes the time to bring together entertainment and TV broadcast; as part of the living room, our new set‐top box will be fully adapted to the digital multimedia leisure. Thanks to our partnerships with Zappware and Albis, we will place the new naxoo services in the center of the family."
