Technicolor’s Gaëtan Delcroix Joins “Deploying Android TV Operator Tier STBs: A Masterclass from Com Hem”

Gaëtan Delcroix, Vice President, Video Product Unit, Technicolor, spoke during a webcast organized by Videonet titled, “Deploying Android TV Operator Tier STBs: A Masterclass from Com Hem.” In this live interactive broadcast webinar, participants had the opportunity to hear a detailed analysis of how Com Hem, one of Sweden's leading suppliers of television, high-speed broadband, and fixed-telephony – along with 3SS (lead project partner, also responsible for UX/UI front-end), Technicolor (STB hardware and middleware), and Verimatrix (revenue security) – collaborated to deliver what is believed to be the world’s first major hybrid Android N deployment using Operator Tier.

Providing a fully operator-customized experience with integrated Google TV services, this multi-network (DVB-C, IPTV, DVB-T, OTT) implementation, based on a single unified platform, is truly pioneering.
