Canada’s Comwave selects Abox42 set-top box

Canadian communications company, Comwave, has selected an Abox42-produced set-top box for its new ComwaveTV service.

Comwave is using Abox42’s M30-Series smart set-top box for Comwave TV – an IPTV service that offers live TV, on-demand, catchup and network PVR functionality.

“Our technical teams looked closely at the options and Abox42 had the best balance of performance and rich software features plus a proven track record delivering successful IPTV projects,” said Yuval Barzakay, CEO of Comwave.

“ComwaveTV is our first IPTV service and working closely with partners such as Abox42 has allowed us to create both a compelling customer experience and an efficient and scalable platform to ensure lifecycle management and future service expansion.”

Comwave says it offers internet and VoIP telephony services to consumer, business enterprise and wholesale customers in more than 1,100 cities in Canada and over 1,600 in the US.
