BH Telecom to launch OTT service with Beenius

Bosnia and Herzegovina-based telco BH Telecom is to launch an OTT TV service using a technology platform supplied by Slovenia-based Beenius.

Beenius will supply BH Telecom with an OTT TV delivery platform based on its BeeSmart middleware and an extension of its existing IPTV and VoIP system, which it says represents one of the first of such deployments in central and eastern Europe.

Beenius’s system will support delivery of services to PCs, Macs, iOS and Android devices and will support the HLS adaptive bit-rate standard.

“The new OTT distribution system based on Beesmart will provided new advanced TV services to our subscribers and offer the TV experience at anytime and anywhere through their smartphones, tablets, and laptop devices. Service will also be available for users of other networks in and outside BiH,” said Nedžad Rešidbegović, general manager at BH Telecom. “BH Telecom will remain the leading telecom operator in Bosnia and Herzegovina thanks to the constant development of new services and their level of quality, thus responding to increasing market demands and customers’ needs more than expected.”
