Ericsson has developed extensions for Proximus' TV anywhere services
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Proximus deployed Ericsson Multiscreen to offer time and place shifted
functionality
* New Proximus TV app powered by Ericsson solution for delivery of seamless
experiences across all screens
* Proximus customers able to enjoy improved flexibility in services including
watching recordings on smartphones and tablets
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announces that it is working with Proximus,
Belgium's leading telecommunications company, to expand its multiscreen cloud
DVR (digital video recording) service which includes an array of exciting
features for consumers. Proximus previously had deployed Ericsson's Multiscreen
Headend to enable the delivery of enhanced services to its customers, including
time and place shifting capabilities.
Jean-Marc Capitaine, Director Consumer Product & Solutions at Proximus, says:
"At Proximus we are dedicated to giving our viewers the best possible service
and guaranteeing their enjoyment through the delivery of outstanding content
experiences. Flexibility is a must-have for today's TV consumers as they look to
watch their favorite programs both inside and outside the home, on a variety of
devices. Ericsson's expertise is helping us to offer exactly this level of
flexibility, giving our viewers the opportunity to enjoy a service that they can
mold around their connected lifestyles."
Proximus viewers can enjoy seamless and consistent experiences on all screens,
whether it's a TV, tablet, PC or smartphone. The new features include the
ability to:
* Watch content on one screen and then continue it on a different screen
* Record content on a smartphone for later viewing on a tablet
* Swipe content with one simple hand movement from a tablet/smartphone to the
TV
* Use a mobile device as a virtual remote control
* Live TV, time-shifted Replay and recordings viewing experiences across all
screens
Itai Tomer, Head of Cloud DVR, Ericsson, says: "Ericsson's Media Vision 2020
predicts that by the year 2020, time spent watching on-demand and time-shifted
content will have reached 50:50 parity with linear and live TV. This shift to a
media landscape where viewers are demanding increased access to video on demand
services is causing TV service providers to overhaul their offerings to reflect
the latest consumer trends. At Ericsson we are providing our customers with the
technology to help them meet these challenges, ensuring that they can achieve
success in an increasingly complex industry."
