SUWANEE, Ga., Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This week at
IBC 2017, ARRIS International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) will unveil a new
portfolio of UHD HDR set-tops with Android TV™ along with
professional services to help simplify and accelerate the launch of
Android™ based TV services for operators around the world.
ARRIS's next-generation set-tops with Android TV are sleek in
design and modular in architecture – addressing the wide range of
requirements for cable, telco, satellite and terrestrial operators.
Based on Android TV Operator Tier, they offer Wi-Fi®
connectivity and DVR options, as well as support and integration
with DVB networks, and conditional access and DRM security
solutions.
Complementing ARRIS's world-class hardware is an unrivalled
suite of services, to help operators integrate and launch Android
TV services. These span every phase of adoption, including:
- Assessing and planning for Android TV services
- Customization and integration: development of operator-specific
launcher and apps, integration of content security and back-end
systems
- Validation and certification: with Google and other third-party
applications
- Deployment support: across both new and legacy set-tops
- Lifecycle management: integration, management and testing of
mandatory Android updates and upgrades
Android is increasingly popular among service providers large
and small as it offers fast time to market, greater control over
the user interface, and subscriber access to familiar features such
as YouTube™, Chromecast built-in, and Google Play Store
applications. As an open platform, service providers have the
freedom and flexibility to create bespoke branded experiences,
develop features rapidly, and benefit from revenue share
opportunities through the Google Play Store.
"Our new set-top solutions with Android TV bring the best of
ARRIS's global scale, services expertise and latest video
technology to operators who want to deliver the future of TV to
their customers," said Larry
Robinson, ARRIS CPE President. "Our longstanding
relationship with Google and deep experience of tailoring and
integrating advanced video solutions positions ARRIS as the prime
partner for operators around the world to launch new enhanced TV
services with Android."
ARRIS will showcase its solutions and services for Android TV at
IBC 2017 in Amsterdam (Hall 1,
B19), including set-tops for IPTV (VIP5202, VIP5402 and VIP6102W
models); DVB-C cable (ZC4515); DVB-T terrestrial (ZT4517) and DVB-S
satellite (PS5517), as well as a variety of third-party user
experiences integrated and running on Android.
