Guiding O2 towards a new generation of internet TV
and strenghtening O2’s position as the Czech IPTV market leader
“The platform enabled us to immediately migrate our O2 TV customers without them needing to exchange their set-top boxes, which is a huge advantage.”
David Duroň
O2 Marketing Director
Massive savings through seamless integration of the original set-top boxes
Instead proposing the costly replacement of the 140,000 set-top boxes used by O2 customers in 2013, we integrated them into the nangu.TV plat-form. For customers the switch was absolutely seamless, without any service interruption. A cost savings worth millions of euros.
Reducing operating costs by developing a content delivery network
Together with O2, we cooperated in developing a CDN that prepared O2 for the necessary growth of their service. The CDN reduced the amount of data flows on the backbone networks, thus leading to sig-nificant operational savings worth millions of euros.
INTEGRATE A PLATFORM THAT WILL ENABLE NEW FEATURES TO BOOST GROWTH OF O2 TV
O2 was the pioneer of IPTV in the Czech Republic.
As a result, the company has become the clear IPTV
market leader.
However, in 2012 they faced subscriber base stagnation
mainly due to the inability of their former
platform to offer customers the latest features. That
required major changes both in the technology and
the overall strategy of the company.
When looking for the provider of a new platform,
O2 Czech Republic decided not to use a centralized
corporate solution that – given the specifics of
the market – was too cost-intensive.
Moreover, they wanted to have more control over
platform development and future adjustments. This
is exactly what the nangu.TV solution has enabled.
A key challenge for nangu.TV was to seamlessly
switch to a new platform, prepare it for future growth
in the subscriber base, and implement brand-new
functionalities.
Opening new business opportunities
Together with O2, we cooperated in developing a CDN that prepared O2 for the necessary growth of their service. The CDN reduced the amount of data flows on the backbone networks, thus leading to sig-nificant operational savings worth millions of euros.
Enabling customization through an API-driven platform
The platform enables O2 to easily integrate third-party applications. In this case we helped integrate the application O2 had developed before moving to the nangu.TV platform. We provided the SDK to make integration smooth.
SWITCHING TO STATE-OF-THE ART TECHNOLOGY
Since 2012 nangu.TV has gradually transformed the platform to meet the latest standards, which include: Integrating various types of set-top boxes (after integrating the original 140,000 ADB STBs nangu.TV integrated the advanced EKT STBs and later also the new generation of EKT STBs). Launching the OTT service. Adding new functionalities, such as 7-day time shift, pause TV etc. Supporting O2 in building a CDN that reduces data flows. Developing the platform so that it could support Samsung TV, Android TV as well as Apple TV.
