Cambridge, UK, Monday 03 July 2017 - Amino Technologies plc (LSE
AIM: AMO), the global provider of digital TV entertainment and
cloud solutions to network operators, today announces that GTD, one
of Chile's leading telecommunications companies, is the latest
major TV operator to deploy Amino ENABLE, its virtual set-top box
(STB) software platform. As a result, GTD is able to upgrade its
STBs and provide a unified user interface across its customer base,
while extending the lifespan of its legacy devices, resulting in
significant cost savings for GTD.
GTD, having moved to an all Internet Protocol (IP) network,
needed to adapt both its middleware and STB hardware platforms to
take advantage of access to new network capabilities. With an
extensive customer base still using legacy STBs, it was vital for
GTD to not only extend the life of its existing hardware
deployments, but also enhance its infrastructure by implementing a
more stable middleware platform.
Amino worked closely with GTD to achieve this through ENABLE,
upgrading and 'upcycling' the telecoms operator's legacy STBs while
providing the means to bring in new Amino devices. Adopting ENABLE
has allowed GTD to provide a consistent user experience across its
entire subscriber base, while reducing capital expenditure and
realizing major operational cost savings. As a result, the business
now has the requisite tools and service offering to maximise
customer retention and continue to generate more value from its
capital investments.
Amino ENABLE empowers TV operators to migrate to an all IP/Cloud
future. By upcycling existing set-top boxes and eliminating
installation costs, the software platform has the potential to save
TV operators across the world billions of dollars in capital
expenditure.
ENABLE is tried and tested for over a decade as the software
core for Amino VIEW - the world's most deployed IP STB - is now
being deployed on third-party set-top box hardware platforms.
ENABLE helps operators future-proof their offerings and deliver
innovative, higher value services such as over-the-top (OTT),
subscription video on demand (SVOD), multiscreen UX, UHD video and
Android capabilities, along with updated and unified user
interfaces.
Commenting on the deployment, Donald McGarva, Amino's CEO, said:
"One of the biggest issues we are seeing for a number of our
customers is the challenge they face in meeting the demand for a
more modern TV experience whilst doing so cost-effectively.
Currently operators face the obstacle of modernizing legacy STBs
that are not compatible with new systems, and yet most are not in a
position to be burdened by the heavy investment required for a
costly hardware swap-out."
McGarva adds: "Amino ENABLE has empowered GTD to overcome this
barrier, transforming its legacy base and future-proofing its
entire service. We are now using ENABLE to do this for operators on
a global scale."
Cristian Tobar, TV Technical Director at Grupo GTD, commented:
"We know it is vital for GTD to keep up with customer demands for a
modern user experience, but we need to do this in an efficient way
that makes good financial sense. Amino ENABLE has allowed us to do
just that, improving operational capabilities, reducing ongoing
costs and helping us get the most from our existing capital
investments."
Chilean telecoms operator GTD Manquehue, a subsidiary of the
Grupo GTD, has a state-of-the-art fiber-optic network, over which
it offers fixed-line and pay TV in and around the country's
capital, Santiago. The company, which has earned a reputation for
high quality service delivery across its 20,000km fibre network,
also controls Telsur, covering Chile's southern region with IPTV,
voice and internet services.
