24i powers KAN to FIFA World Cup viewing success
Israeli Public Broadcaster KAN upgrades its Smart TV experience
with 24i applications for multiple TV brands to maximise viewing of
its World Cup coverage
Aferian plc (LSE AIM: AFRN), the B2B video streaming solutions
company, announces that its 2 4i video streaming platform has
supported Israeli Public Broadcaster KAN to bring an exceptional
experience to its viewers on multiple Smart TV devices for the
World Cup and beyond.
KAN is building a reputation for digital innovation. It wanted
to upgrade its existing Smart TV experience and extend it to more
big screen devices, to capitalise on its investment in exclusive
rights to the FIFA tournament in Qatar.
Key requirements included a right-to-left user interface and
ease of use for KAN's viewers when switching between live TV and
radio channels and on-demand content.
24i's platform has been used to create branded KAN apps for TVs
made by LG, Samsung and Hisense as well as Apple TV devices and TVs
that use Google's popular Android TV operating system.
The apps are integrated with 24i's market-leading management
interface, delivered as a SaaS platform. This gives KAN real-time
control of the content and user experience on all their Smart TV
apps, from one dashboard.
The 24i powered Android TV app, which was the first to go live,
has been installed on more than 380,000 devices during the
tournament.
Tamir Cohen, Head of Product and Deputy Chief Digital Officer at
KAN, said: "As a public corporation, we always aim to give the best
product behaviour and performance to our users. We were looking for
a strong player in the streaming field and we have found in 24i the
ideal partner who shares our values of excellence, innovation,
dynamism and high quality. The launch in time for the World Cup was
super successful and enabled us to give a great experience to
hundreds of thousands of users since the first kick off."
Donald McGarva, Aferian CEO said : "We are delighted to have
been part of bringing KAN's viewers this fantastic new,
high-quality user experience with 24i's streaming platform. This
project has been a real team effort between KAN and 24i, and it's
wonderful to see them embracing the power of 24i's SaaS solutions
to get real-time control of their user experience and content."
