Orange TV Stick To Provide OTT Live TV,
On-demand, and Internet Services to Consumers Across Europe
Transforming the viewing experience worldwide, Espial today
announced that Orange, a top-ten mobile operator with 244M
subscribers in 30 countries across the globe, has launched a new
consumer streaming device called Orange TV Stick based on Espial's
HTML5 Client software.
Orange’s new platform provides European consumers with a rich
set of video services including Live TV (70 SD and HD, local and
international channels), Catch-Up TV, managed VOD portals, access
to premium music, Over-the-top (OTT) video services, and an
ecosystem of applications on an HDMI stick.
In Orange’s recently announced 5 year plan - “Essential2020” -
CEO Stephane Richard announced the TV Stick will first be deployed
in Romania, followed by France and other countries in Europe in the
very near future.
Through the Orange TV Stick, viewers can share and enjoy their
personal contents on TV, as well as pilot live TV through an
application available for tablets and smartphones. Built with
advanced HTML5 Client software from Espial, Orange TV delivers a
high-end user experience.
"Espial's software excellence and their on-time delivery have
been highly appreciated," said Martin Conan, OTT Box Director of
Orange. “Espial’s HTML5 Client solution enabled us to create a user
experience where Orange customers can seamlessly navigate
traditional TV, on-demand, and internet-based services."
"We’re excited to work with Orange - one of the world’s most
visionary network operators - on innovative services for their
customers," said Jaison Dolvane, CEO, Espial. "Leveraging our
software, Orange has created a world-class video user experience
which will give them competitive advantage, as well as a platform
which can be enhanced rapidly to incorporate new services and
applications. For Espial, this represents the expansion of our
solution onto HDMI-based devices."
The Orange TV Stick is enabled with a secure Wi-Fi connection,
and can be plugged into a variety of consumer devices including TVs
and laptops. The shift to a full HTML5 solution is a milestone in
Orange’s convergent strategy, creating a seamless experience
between broadband and mobile services.
