Evolution Digital video platform for Vast

June 27, 2019

Evolution Digital has announced an agreement with Vast Broadband to be its full end-to-end IP video platform provider for its application-based video offering. As Vast migrates to IP video delivery with Evolution Digital’s eVUE-TV content delivery platform, the app will feature 300+ linear channels, VoD, network DVR, pay-per-view and catch-up/start-over content on the operator-customisable, feature-rich eMERGE user experience. The streaming service will be available to more than 57,000 residential and business customers in the US.

“Our team is incredibly excited to announce a new customer of our end-to-end IP video solution on the acclaimed eMERGE user experience with the 2019 CableFAX-honoured ‘Independent Operator of the Year,’ Vast,” said Marc Cohen, EVP of sales and marketing. “We look forward to working with Vast in revamping its video platform with the transition to app-based video delivery on the devices that consumers love inside and outside of the home. We will ensure that Vast customers are getting the best entertainment technology available in the pay-TV space, and are eager to build upon that innovation for years to come.”

“After careful consideration of the options available to us in the marketplace, we chose Evolution Digital as our trusted IPTV partner to lead our business and customers into the next generation of streaming content across the most popular managed and retail devices,” said Jim Gleason, chief executive officer at Vast. “Evolution Digital’s eVUE-TV and eMERGE offerings allow us to cost-effectively make the transition to IP with the aggregation of high-value IP content. We are excited for our customers to check the app out later this year.”
