With IPTV becoming more popular than ever, manufacturers are producing digital set top boxes at record speeds. However, the problem from a manufacturer’s perspective is that a company has to both develop top-of-the-line hardware and also create software that their user base can easily use. While some large companies may be able to accomplish this, not all manufacturers are ready and willing to take on the development of hardware and software.
For those companies that choose to focus on the hardware side of the set top box (STB) market, they need to partner with a company offering IPTV software that is compatible across a myriad of set top box devices.
The good news is that we’ve been at the forefront of the IPTV revolution for the past decade. We’ve long supported a variety of STBs — but have recently focused on improving our IPTV software and making it available to a wide variety of manufacturers.
This allows our manufacturing partners to focus on producing the highest quality set top boxes possible while we can focus on continuous improvements to our IPTV solution. Working together, we’re able to get our IPTV software in front of more “eyes” and set top box manufacturers are able to get more devices to market without any delays from issues developing software in-house.
