Elisa Extends Agama Quality Assurance with OTT Service Monitoring for EpicTV
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(LINKÖPING, September 3, 2013) - Agama Technologies, the video service quality
assurance expert, announced today that Finland's leading telecommunications
service provider Elisa extends its existing Agama DTV Monitoring Solution
deployment to also cover quality assurance of its pioneering over-the-top (OTT)
service EpicTV. With Agama, EpicTV can now ensure that the premium streaming
service, offering live and on-demand extreme sports content to multiple
connected viewing devices worldwide, works optimally 24/7.
Elisa is a leading Finnish telecommunications and ICT service provider with some
3.6 million consumer and corporate customers in the Nordic countries, the
Baltics and Russia. In 2012, Elisa launched EpicTV, an innovative online extreme
sports channel with over 300 original series available across iPads, Android
tablets and smartphones, PCs and connected TVs. Now extending its existing Agama
quality monitoring solution into the OTT domain, Elisa can ensure that the
EpicTV service is always available at the optimum quality to keep customers
satisfied. This business is conducted in a partnership with regional systems
integrator Mediatrade.
"As a leading provider of high-quality TV services we are committed to meet and
exceed our viewers' high expectations, both for our traditional TV services in
Finland and for our pioneering multinational OTT service", says Jarkko Järvinen,
EpicTV's chief engineer and senior development manager at Elisa. "One vital part
of this is, of course, to really be able to ensure the delivered service quality
to all our customers, and for this critical mission we turned to Agama, which
has video service quality assurance as its core business and field of expertise,
and a solution that perfectly matches our needs and requirements."
Mikael Dahlgren, CEO at Agama Technologies, adds: "We are proud to be given this
additional contract from Elisa, which reinforces its trust in our offerings. Our
solution has positioned itself as a true multiscreen and multiservice capable
video quality assurance solution. It's great to see that it is getting such good
traction with OTT and multiplatform operators worldwide."
The proven Agama DTV Monitoring Solution can be efficiently tailored for
concurrent and real-time quality monitoring of adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR)
video services across an end-to-end OTT distribution. It is ideal for all TV
operators moving to multiscreen and TV Everywhere offerings, allowing OTT
services to be monitored together with traditional IPTV and cable TV, for
example, in a single and unified system. Agama is showcasing its complete
solution for end-to-end video service assurance at IBC2013 in Amsterdam on
September 13-17. For a live demonstration of cutting edge QA for IP, cable and
OTT video services and to learn more about the Agama DTV Monitoring Solution,
