3 Screen Solutions (3SS), leading provider of software solutions for set-top boxes (STB) and multiscreen entertainment, and Technicolor Connected Home, last week announced their continued partnership with Tele2 as its Com Hem Tv Hub service upgrades to Android P.
Tele2 Com Hem TV Hub service has now become one of the industry’s first major operators to leapfrog from Android N directly to Android P, the latest version of Google’s Android TV Operator Tier offering for service providers. It was the industry’s first major hybrid Android TV Operator Tier deployment, starting in 2018. Since launch, it has featured a 3SS-designed and deployed UI/UX with Custom Launcher based on the 3READY Product Framework.
The upgrade was carried out by an integrated team involving Com Hem, 3SS and Technicolor Connected Home, and was optimized through the modern principles of agile development, including SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework). SAFe is a customer-centric team-based product development framework which is designed to accelerate and optimize major projects.

This development is also significant in that it demonstrates that Android TV is future-ready, and that live, deployed services can be upgraded to comply with ongoing Android version updates.
Mercedes Pastor, SVP for the Eurasia Customer Premises Equipment Business Unit, Technicolor
Android P introduces additional flexibility for service providers to create applications and customize UX/UI experiences for subscribers. We have integrated these capabilities in our STB portfolio, and this will allow operators to build new revenue-generating business models.
