Orange Belgium has launched its next-generation TV service using Zappware’s NeXX 4.0 ecosystem.

Zappware provided its Android TV Operator Tier solution, unlocking DVB-C channels and OTT streaming content in an integrated user experience – all Orange branded and customised to the operators’ specific needs. This solution aims to bring the ultimate user experience to the end consumer by being seamlessly integrated with the 3rd party broadcaster and content apps.

The multi-screen/multi-device user experience is powered by Zappware’s cloud-native AWS backoffice. This micro-services based back-office architecture will give Orange Belgium the necessary flexibility to easily scale the system and extend it with additional features.

Next to offering its technical components, which are based on latest cutting-edge technology choices, Zappware also took the role of System Architect and System Integrator. Together with the Orange team and the other technology partners, Zappware desiged the end-to-end architecture to assure a high level of service quality.

Patrick Vos, Executive Partner Zappware, said: “With this next-generation deployment, we are pleased to lead Orange’s TV viewers to the new way of watching content, by providing a seamlessly integrated multi-content / multi-device solution that is based on scalable technology components such as AndroidTV and AWS. With over 20 years of experience in deploying user-friendly TV ecosystems, Zappware could offer the necessary system integration and program management services to lead this new launch to a success.”

Thomas Parvais, Director Fixed Access Broadband & TV services Orange Belgium Orange, added: “We have been relying on Zappware’s TV expertise for many years. Zappware’s combination of technology knowledge and creative skills have always helped us create a great customer experience. Together with the other partners that contributed to this launch, we are very excited to further grow our TV customer base.”
