iWedia partners with Switzerland’s WinGo

TV technology firm iWedia has partnered with Swisscom subsidiary WinGo to deploy its Teatro-3.5 software solution in WinGo’s new Android IPTV set-top boxes. 

The IPTV edition of the Teatro-3.5 software for Android set-top boxes integrates the multicast and connectivity components necessary to give support to managed IPTV and OTT services with advanced Java User Interfaces, iWedia said.

This edition of Teatro-3.5 is pre integrated with major content delivery networks, such as Alcatel Lucent and Cisco, and with conditional access and digital rights management systems by Microsoft, Verimatrix and Widevine.

The WinGo TV box gives access to 120 TV channels, 30 of which are in HD, and provides PVR and time shift features using the internal set-top box memory.

“For operators, Android dramatically simplifies the delivery of their premium video services using web services and/or Android apps. Android will be the next big move on the IPTV STB market, a trend we have anticipated a couple of years ago which allows us to now offer to the market a range of software solutions for Android TV devices,” said Hans-Jürgen Désor, CEO of iWedia.

iWedia will showcase its products at ANGA COM at visit at stand O.24, hall 10.1.
