Aferian plc (LON:AFRN), the B2B video streaming solutions company, has today announced that both 24i and Amino have been selected by Technische Betriebe Wil (TBW) to power the video services of its service subsidiary Thurcom, the largest regional telecom provider in Switzerland. This joint TV-as-a-service (TVaaS) solution will uniquely enable Thurcom to significantly improve time to market, while reducing on-site infrastructure and operational complexity to deliver a superior user experience for its subscribers.
By selecting the only fully managed, end-to-end TVaaS solution in the Swiss market, Thurcom is capitalising on the strengths of interoperability between 24i, Amino and Swisscom Broadcast. The 24i FokusOnTV middleware solution is pre-integrated with Swisscom Broadcast’s premium headend infrastructure, which will give Thurcom instant access to more than 600 national and international TV channels, and 24/7 monitoring from a dedicated European Network Operations Centre (NOC). 24i’s sister company, Amino, is providing its streaming devices and device management software platform which are both pre-integrated with FokusOnTV.
