Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS) has been selected by Altibox, a TV and broadband operator in Scandinavia, to provide the video platform for Altibox TV. The deployment uses CTS’ Cloud Video Platform to support on-demand TV channels and streaming services for subscribers in Norway and Denmark across set-top boxes and connected devices.
Altibox, part of Lyse AS, offers IPTV and fiber broadband services in Norway and Denmark. Altibox TV allows subscribers to watch or purchase films, shows, sports, and entertainment content, and personalize their subscription through a points system for selecting and swapping channels or streaming services.
“Altibox TV is the ‘go-to’ destination for consumers across Norway and Denmark to watch, or purchase, their favorite shows, movies, sports, and entertainment, and we’re very honored to help make that possible,” says Bart Spriester, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Streaming, Broadcast and Advertising, Comcast Technology Solutions. “CTS’ Cloud Video Platform enables innovators like Altibox to streamline their next-gen video efforts from ingest through distribution to drive efficiency at scale.”
“Altibox is on a continuous mission to provide the best possible entertainment experience to our customers by leveraging the most innovative and capable back-end systems possible, which is why we turned to Comcast Technology Solutions,” says Jarle Johnsen, Head of TV Technology, Lyse Tele AS and Altibox TV. “CTS is enabling us to centralize video and subscriber management efforts across both legacy and new set-top boxes, connected TVs, and mobile apps to improve efficiency and position us for future innovation.”
Altibox TV uses CTS’ Cloud Video Platform for centralized ingest of on-demand video and metadata management, content protection, concurrency and rights enforcement, commerce and subscription management, and video playout across connected devices and apps. The platform supports management of duplicate show episodes or movies from different content providers as a single asset while maintaining multi-tenant attribution.
