Combination yields blended live TV and OTT viewing with a
personalized app experience
Transforming the viewing experience worldwide, Espial today announced
the successful integration of the Metrological Application Platform with
Espial's G4 STB Client. The combination enables operators to quickly
deploy operator branded TV app stores in an RDK-compliant user
experience.
“Operators are experiencing rapidly escalating video competition while
at the same time, their subscribers want to access a growing set of
web-type applications," said Jaison Dolvane, Espial CEO. “We are
committed to help operators enhance their user experience and service
offerings to delight their subscribers. Metrological’s library of over
250 premium Apps and their cloud platform to manage TV App Stores
provides an exciting opportunity for operators to offer richer services.”
Metrological’s cloud-based Application Platform offers lifecycle support
for operator TV app stores and content provider apps, enabling operators
to manage their app stores with access to business intelligence data and
marketing analytics in real-time. Operators can customize their branded
TV app store for each market using Metrological’s 250+ App Library of
premium apps or build their own apps with an open source SDK.
"The combination of Espial's G4 Client and our Application Platform
enables operators to deliver a complete video experience that combines
OTT, Live TV and related app content that is personalized and relevant
to consumers," said Jeroen Ghijsen, CEO of Metrological. “We’re pleased
to collaborate with Espial to offer an integrated personalized TV app
experience to cable, telco, satellite, and other video provider
customers that is scalable and easy to deploy across a vast ecosystem of
devices.”
Espial's G4 Client working with the Metrological Application Platform
will be on display at IBC2015, September 11-15, in Amsterdam at the
