1 We bring every screen to life!

1 Introduction Cable & network operators, Service Providers, Content owners and new entrants in the OTT industry are aiming to reach more end-users and expand their ARPU in order to grow or fortify their market`s position. Consequently End-users` demand for new functionalities, content quality, device support are high and rising. But due to fast moving technological developments it is difficult to understand for these contestants how to move forward or to step in. Strategic and investment decisions are no longer technical they are made by a multi-disciplinary DMU and mostly based on numbers. That is where we step in. We can help existing operators & service providers to extend their TV proposition by re-using technical infrastructure as much as possible. Either DVB S/S2, T/T2, C, IPTV, OTT or smart hybrid configurations. We can enable interactive TV on pretty much any kind of network or device.
