Agama and Zenterio Partner for a Superior Video Service Quality Experience
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(LINKÖPING, July 16, 2013) - Agama Technologies, the video service quality
assurance expert and Zenterio, the independent operating system developer for TV
client devices, announced today a technology partnership to deliver a turnkey
solution for efficient last-mile and in-home video service quality assurance to
joint TV operator customers worldwide. The partnership has already resulted in a
new contract with a major European operator group, with delivery taking place in
December.
The integration of Agama's renowned Embedded Monitoring Solution with Zenterio's
unique software platform for interactive TV, Zenterio OS, allows TV operators to
extend their Agama real-time 24/7 monitoring and QA into the subscribers'
Zenterio powered devices within the home. This ensures service quality
throughout the end-to-end video delivery chain, from the head-end down to the
viewing device.
"Agama is an exciting addition to the range of leading technology providers that
are working to strengthen our advanced digital TV set-top box software
solutions," says Marco Frattolin, Head of Product Management at Zenterio. "This
partnership between Agama and Zenterio facilitates a quick and straightforward
deployment that allows TV operators to immediately establish proactive
management of service quality and customer satisfaction, which ultimately
enables accelerated growth and profitability with strengthened customer
loyalty."
Johan Görsjö, Director of Product Management at Agama Technologies, adds: "We
take pride in delivering superior quality assurance solutions to our customers,
tailored to their specific environments and needs. We're delighted, therefore,
to now be partnering and integrating with Zenterio, enabling us to provide truly
complete end-to-end monitoring solutions to all our mutual customers."
Key features of the Zenterio OS include:
* True independence for the operator - with Zenterio OS, operators are free to
focus on service development as an independent business driver, rather than
staying locked in by their current ecosystem's limitations.
* Improved performance - the modular capability of Zenterio has an extremely
strong reputation in providing world class performing software. This focus
on performance has always been at the core of each new generation of the
Zenterio OS, enabling the operator to make the most out of the hardware they
deploy.
* Replacement of existing software - Zenterio OS can be deployed not only on
new set-top boxes, but also to the base of boxes already in use by the
operator's customers. Zenterio can, through a unique offering called 'swap-
out', remotely replace proprietary operating systems that are already in
use.
The Agama Embedded Monitoring Solution forms a crucial link in monitoring
service quality in a video delivery chain. It performs continuous and stateful
monitoring of service QoE, QoS, usage, and system health for IPTV, broadcast and
OTT set-top boxes, PC media players, tablets, smart phones, residential gateways
and similar devices. High scalability allows for many millions of customer
devices to be continuously and concurrently monitored in real-time; and, the
solution enables operators to systematically manage service quality, raise
operational efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction.
Attendees of IBC2013 in Amsterdam in September can see solution demonstrations
and learn more at the Agama stand (hall 4, stand A71).
