Kaonmedia, a provider of digital set top-boxes, and Verimatrix, the specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-screen digital TV services, have announced a partnership that has enabled the delivery of a next-generation, high quality OTT TV experience for the Etisalat OnWeb service, which is part of eLife.

The collaboration has resulted in the development of an innovative new Android smart pay-TV solution, which features Kaonmedia’s Android-based SmartCube/TV+ consumer devices with proven digital TV revenue security from Verimatrix and its Video Content Authority System (VCAS) for Internet TV. The result is a secure broadcast television quality solution for OTT delivery of premium content, further supported by an intuitive user interface with easy navigation among video services, full Internet access and a multitude of apps from the Kaon App Store. The hybrid set-top-box (STB) version SmartTV+ is also optimised for DVB services in addition to OTT, providing for a unified TV experience.
