Mware secures content deal for white-label IP video offering

Cloud-based multi-tenant, white label platform provider Mware, has teamed up with an unnamed US content provider to deliver a one-stop service for ISPs and multi-dwelling organisations in the US.

Mware said the deal means that it can offer a complete content management and delivery service, including more than 200 national and regional television channels, in a single contract.

This content partnership means that users can launch their services with a range of national and regional TV channels, obviating the need for providers to strike individual contracts with each channel.

MwareTV provides a television streaming service used by broadcasters, network operators and enterprises. Cloud-hosted and delivered as software as a service, it includes subscriber and channel management along with the ability to create fully branded bespoke apps for devices including iOS, Android, Apple TV, FireTV, Roku, and Samsung and LG smart TVs.

According to Mware, its AppBuilder, included as part of the platform, user interfaces can be created and tailored without any knowledge of coding.

“This is another huge benefit for anyone considering adding a streaming television service. Housing associations and corporate bodies can be daunted both by the technical challenges of setting up streaming, the creative challenges of ensuring it accurately reflects the corporate look and feel, and the legal challenges of securing content at a sensible cost. We can now take all those concerns away, and provide everything from programmes to apps, with no new hardware on premises,” said MwareTV CEO Sander Kerstens.

“At MwareTV we have broad experience in delivering total solutions for residential multi-unit communities and commercial chains, and we know that they all want to provide the best service but are wary of getting tied up in legal and technical issues. Our complete, one-stop operational and content offering takes away these concerns and allows operators to get on with delighting their customers and earning new revenues.”
