SoftAtHome teams up with Zappware for next-gen cable platform

Home operating platform provider SoftAtHome has teamed up with interactive TV specialist Zappware to build a next-generation platform for cable operators. 

SoftAtHome’s SOP5 software for set-top boxes and home gateways will be integrated with Zappware’s Nexx, its latest TV User Interface, which supports features including animation and gesture control.

The new solution will be HTML5-based and will help cable operators tackle the challenges of IP migration, according to the pair.
“By adding SoftAtHome’s embedded software expertise to our Design capabilities, we are excited to bring the most innovative solutions for the TV User Experience to the cable market,” said Patrick Vos, Zappware’s CEO.

“Our new joint offering, with a pre-integration of our widely deployed SOP5 software platform and Zappware’s feature-rich Nexx, vastly reduces time-to-market for new cable TV deployments,” said Michel Degland SoftAtHome’s CEO.

Zappware will exhibit at ANGA COM on Stand R9, Hall 10.1
