The offering will initially be available throughout North and South America. It will be the first live and video-on-demand (VOD) Spanish network available on the Microsoft Xbox. A key ingredient will be Olympusat Telecom bundling its content preparation services with content from Olympusat Holdings and Viaccess-Orca's technology, providing operators with a single, end-to-end, cloud-based multiscreen solution which it is confident will reduce both risk and the up-front investment required to launch a multiscreen service.
The deployment will also see Olympusat making use of Voyage's unified service delivery platform (RiGHTv) and content discovery solution (COMPASS), through which it can deliver a variety of Spanish-language content — including live television, catch-up TV and VOD — to subscribers on any screen. Olympusat Telecom will also use Viaccess-Orca's Connected Sentinel and Connected Sentinel Player to ensure secure content distribution.
"Our new TVE and OTT service will enable MSOs and telco operators in the Americas to strengthen their current offering and drive the growth of broadband connectivity to end-user on a low OPEX model," commented Austin Powers, president at Olympusat Telecom. "The partnership with Viaccess-Orca promises to be yet another important milestone for our company."
