RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June
12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Saudi Telecom multimedia
subsidiary Intigral has chosen ARRIS International, plc (NASDAQ:
ARRS) to provide cutting-edge products and services for its first
digital entertainment offering, Jawwy TV, in Saudi Arabia. The service, which is scheduled
to debut in the coming weeks, will include world-class
entertainment programming as well as exclusive broadcast rights to
the Saudi Professional League.
ARRIS's VIP4302W OTT set-top, with the widely deployed
KreaTV® HTML5-based middleware platform, will power the
Jawwy TV service. In addition, Intigral plans to also bring the
service to Kuwait and Bharain in
the coming months as part of the company's expansion into
international markets.
The Jawwy TV launch will also mark an important commercial
milestone for Intigral and Saudi Telecom. The project will
contribute to the Saudi government's National Transformation
Program 2020, which aims to boost Saudi
Arabia's digital infrastructure, skills and inclusion
rate.
"Intigral's strategic partnership with ARRIS underpins our
vision for a new era in entertainment across Saudi Arabia, the Middle East and beyond," said Intigral CEO
Hamoud Al Rumayan. "We needed a
partner for Jawwy TV that could deliver market-leading OTT set-tops
at scale, a world-class customer experience, and the back-end
infrastructure and expertise to support both—and ARRIS was the
obvious choice. Together, we're building a new paradigm for
entertainment that will guide our international expansion."
"Intigral selected ARRIS for our ability to provide the
technology, scale and expertise to deliver a world-class entry into
the entertainment market," said Steve
McCaffery, ARRIS President and Managing Director. "We look
forward to building on our long track record of success with
Intigral to launch Jawwy TV and create a next-generation
entertainment platform to serve its growing base of customers."
