Amino, the IP/Cloud video software and device specialist, has announced that GTD, one of Chile’s leading telecommunications companies, is the latest major TV operator to deploy Amino Enable, its virtual set-top box (STB) software platform. The result is GTD is able to upgrade its STBs and provide a unified user interface across its customer base, while extending the lifespan of its legacy devices – leading to significant cost savings.

“One of the biggest issues we are seeing with a number of our customers is the challenge of delivering the modern TV experience consumers demand in a cost-effective way,” says Donald McGarva, Amino’s Chief Executive. “The trouble is operators face the obstacle of modernising legacy STBs that are not compatible with new systems, and yet most are not in a position to be burdened by the heavy investment required for a costly hardware swap-out.”
