Industria, a leading IPTV solutions provider, and Edgeware, a technology leader in on-demand TV, have signed a partnership agreement that focuses on close technical cooperation between the companies. Under this agreement, both parties commit to closer cooperation on both technical levels and in the areas of sales and marketing.
Building on a clear vision of where the IPTV industry is headed, Edgeware and Industria aim to decrease the complexities of setting up service and building a reliable and scalable infrastructure.
Industria recently announced the launch of Zignal Cloud, whereby service providers are able to subscribe to the Zignal middleware solution as a service, thus lowering the total cost of ownership, decreasing technolo gical risk and allowing efforts to be focused on customer care and marketing. Now, through pre-integration with Zignal Cloud, service providers can reduce the time to market for on-demand TV services.
Thorsteinn Yngvi Gudmundsson, VP Product Development at Industria commented: "We are truly excited to strengthen the relationship with Edgeware. Being able to offer service providers, who are running their operation on Zignal Cloud, pre-integrated access to the Edgeware solutions, creates clear a business value for them. And for the end user it ensures immediate availability of Time-shift TV, VoD and nPVR."
Goeran Appelquist, VP Business Development at Edgeware, commented: "Edgeware is pleased that the Orbit 2x on-demand server system is integrated with the innovative Zignal platform. We see a growing interest in rolling Time-shift TV services amongst service providers. With this joint partnership, we can offer an attractive solution."
