24i Smart Operator enables T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom to efficiently launch best-in-class branded IPTV and TV Anywhere experiences

 

Amsterdam, The Netherlands - 10 March 2020 - 24i , the industry-leading global video experience company, today provides further detail on the deployment of its next-generation24iSmart Operator product by T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom to provide IPTV and TV Anywhere video experiences to  T-Mobile TV GO , Magio GO and Digi GO customers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

 

The deployment is now live on iOS, Android, Android TV, web and Smart TVs from Samsung, as well as on Linux and Android IPTV set-top-boxes (STBs). 24i provides a single code base approach across all three of T-Mobile Czech Republic's and Slovak Telekom's services. This offering also provides data-driven content optimisation, discovery and engagement tools including recommendations, analytics, targeted content and audience measurement.

 

The 24i -powered services are proving highly popular throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia and, together with 24i, have been nominated for a Connected TV Award in Advancing the TV Experience .

 

Key deployment achievements include:

 

A customisable UX which provides next-generation experiences for the T-Mobile TV GO, Magio GO and Digi GO brands

A single code base, enabling T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom to rapidly deploy across both territories, to all devices including STBs, Smart TVs and Android TVs

Advanced features such as Timeshift TV Player, Cloud and STB PVR functionality, view showtimes and an Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) including 'channel filtering'

24i's Smart Operator product unifies IPTV and TV Everywhere, reducing CAPEX and OPEX costs and increasing flexibility.

 

Marcel Šatánek, Head of PM Connected Home & Terminal Management, SlovakTelekom, said:

 

"24i Smart Operator allows us to provide a next-generation, personalised video experience for each of our subscribers. We chose to partner with 24i because of the solution's unique ability to enable a 'develop once, deploy everywhere' content workflow. 24i Smart Operator effortlessly handles device proliferation: from legacy and third-party integrations to new technologies and platform capabilities."

 

" Smart Operator also manages multiple content services across our three brands via a single centralised back-end system. By combining the functionality to provide IPTV and TV Everywhere, 24i saves us time and effort in managing our services, and offers us the power and flexibility to provide our customers with an incredible video experience on all devices, now and in the future."

 

Martijn van Horssen, Joint-CEO of 24i, said:

 

" Slovak Telekom is the first, large-scale multinational to deploy our new, next-generation Smart Operator product. We worked very closely with the Slovak Telekom and T-Mobile Czech Republic project teams to ensure  to provide all the functionality they need, as well as new features that really excite customers such as continued watching (cross-platform), and view showtimes and recordings to a STB or the cloud.

 

"Before our solution, providing an equally unified experience across territories and multiple devices required a massive engineering effort. Our solution provides this efficiently without this effort. Both operators are already seeing the benefits of combining IPTV and TV Everywhere in one platform with powerful branding capabilities."

 

"We're looking forward to ensuring that the T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom video experiences we are powering continue to excite and attract consumers throughout the region."

 

Smart Operator is a turn-key streaming video app development product that enables operators to deliver live, linear and on-demand video services via an intuitive user interface on to any and all devices.
