Croatian Optima Telecom Selects SmartLabs for Delivery of Next Generation Interactive TV Services

Croatian Optima Telecom Selects SmartLabs for Delivery of Next Generation Interactive TV Services

Optima Telecom, Сroatia's 2nd largest fixed line, Internet and Pay-TV provider, has partnered with Smartlabs to upgrade the OptiTV service and deploy a next generation end-to-end SmartLabs Interactive TV Solution. Both companies are working together to jointly deliver an ambitious multiscreen interactive TV project.

The SmartLabs solution included a service delivery platform (SmartTUBE SDP), video infrastructure (SmartMEDIA), an advanced user interface (SmartTUBE UI) and the SML-482 STBs. Whilst the SML-482 STB has been selected for new customers, a critical feature of the project was the migration of existing Optima Telecom customers from the legacy interactive TV platform to the new service, built on the SmartLabs solution, without changing their STBs.

Smartlabs, a leader in the development of service delivery platforms for interactive digital television (IPTV, OTTtv, hybrid IPTV/DVB), said that the solution now offers Optima Telecom customers access to linear TV channels, VOD, Pay-Per-View services, radio stations, YouTube and Facebook and they can also play user generated content from external devices.

"We are delighted to collaborate with Optima Telecom to work with them to deliver their far reaching and fascinating plans for the OptiTV service. We believe that this ambitious project will bring out the full potential of our products and allow SmartLabs to demonstrate our capability to implement and support state-of-the-art national interactive TV services."
