Aferian plc (LSE AIM: AFRN), the B2B video streaming solutions
company, today announces a new partnership with Swisscom Broadcast
and the launch of FokusOnTV. FokusOnTV is 24i's new TV as a Service
(TVaaS) streaming offering that enables Pay TV operators to improve
their time to market and reduce their on-site infrastructure and
operational complexity.
The end-to-end, fully cloud based FokusOnTV solution is a
managed service based on 24i's proven middleware. It will be
offered as a pre-integrated solution with Swisscom Broadcast's
premium headend infrastructure, giving operators in the region
access to over 600 national and international TV channels.
FokusOnTV's configurable, off-the-shelf consumer applications
are available for leading web browsers and mobile devices running
iOS or Android as well as Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TVs,
Chromecast and set-top boxes.
These apps give consumers the ability to pause, resume or
restart live TV channels on their devices. Users can also record
and replay up to 1,000 hours of their favourite content in the
cloud.
The service also comes with an optional, pre-integrated launcher
for Android TV, enabling operators to enjoy rapid time-to-market
with a managed set-top device that aggregates content from other
streaming service providers including their own. For a complete
Aferian solution, the service can be delivered with pre-integrated
Android TV streaming devices from Amino.
Donald McGarva, Aferian Group CEO, said: "At Aferian, our mantra
is 'streaming made simple' and Pay TV doesn't get much simpler than
FokusOnTV. We offer access to a fantastic range of TV content and
network PVR functionality as part of this fully hosted, end-to-end
solution. It's a cost-effective and hassle-free way for Pay TV
operators to bring a superior streaming service to consumers on a
wide range of devices and to scale for their future growth."
Dominik Müller, CEO of Swisscom Broadcast, said: "We have been
working with the team at 24i for many years now, so we are very
familiar and impressed with the stability and reliability of their
middleware and applications. We are delighted to be part of this
hosted TV as a Service solution that gives operators a fast,
flexible and high-quality next-generation streaming service without
having to invest in their own infrastructure."
