As this year comes to a close, Alticast is not only taking time to reflect on our past achievements but to look forward to the new year. The flux created in the PayTV industry has challenged us but it is a challenge we have accepted! We have created and implemented new products that operators and customers were demanding, embraced next-gen technologies, and we won a few awards along the way.
Some of this year’s highlights:
Alticast helped numerous Pay TV operators and partners
explore new frontiers with our products. We took KT Skylife in South Korea
“over the top” when we implemented our newly released, “TV Everywhere” Ambient
TV™ cloud platform as the
foundation for their OTT service, Telebee.
KT in South Korea implemented our new Apex™ UX Virtualization platform on over 5 million of their already deployed IPTV set
top boxes. We integrated our interactive E2E architecture into STBs developed
by Ali Corporation. We partnered with Intel by incorporating their Intel® SGX technology into our
AltiProtect™ Multi-DRM product to eliminate exposure to untrusted areas, enabling secure
delivery of 4K UHD online video content from servers to client devices, and
preventing copying of content from GPU memory.
Our products went on the road with a presence
at CES, NAB, IBC and BCA tradeshows. We showcased our new Ambient TV Cloud
platform integrated with Apex, our UI Virtualization product; our next-gen technology
platforms that included Voice Assistance UX and a gaming UX; and showed the
virtues of our award-winning, anti-piracy
and remote device management system product
called Argus™.
The award community took notice of us too!
Argus took home a BTR Diamond Award at SCTE in October. The judges praised Argus for empowering Pay-TV
operators and OTT providers to holistically and seamlessly protect all devices
against hacking and data breaches that can jeopardize revenue and compromise
both the privacy and safety of customers. And, we are
proud to say that Ambient TV was a finalist at IBC’s CSI Awards in the Best Content on Demand category.
2018
will bring new challenges but we are poised to accept. Delving into new
territories such as blockchain and AI, building upon our existing products with
upgrades and improvements and helping our operators meet and exceed the demands
of their customers are what we are looking forward to the most!
Here’s to a great new year!
