The Altice Group is a multinational cable and telecom company with over 13 million customers spanning Israel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Portugal, French West Indies and the Dominican Republic.
The first of its kind, Zive is available to SFR customers in France, with plans to soon offer it in all Altice markets.

Zive includes a wide catalogue of over 400 4K/ultra HD programs spanning kids shows, movies, sports, and more.
Altice was one of the first to deploy the Cisco® cBR-8 converged broadband router, which is helping it deliver faster Internet speeds to support high-definition and 4K video-on-demand. Cisco® CDN technologies are allowing for the cost-effective storage, delivery, and picture quality of the 4K video content.
"We committed to evolve our architecture to deliver the best possible customer experience for our subscribers," said Max Blumberg, CTO, Altice Group. "We were aligned closely with Cisco from the start on the approach to integrate video and mobile components, and 4K content, like no one else has."
