P UR TV is set to increase subscriber loyalty, expand reach and open new monetization opportunities by empowering Tele Columbus to provide customers with a richer entertainment experience beyond a basic cable offering. Core to the P UR TV offering is NAGRA's SaaS OpenTV Video and Security Services Platforms integrated with 3SS's 3Ready app platform to deliver an end-to-end, state of the art service across TV and streaming devices.
The television business has changed dramatically in the last few years. With P UR TV, we now have a powerful product to offer our customers an outstanding entertainment experience and continue to grow in the face of competition, said Markus Oswald, Chief Executive Officer at Tele Columbus. With P UR TV, traditional linear television is greatly enhanced with new features and combined with OTT content to create a comprehensive entertainment experience for our customers. adds Lars Lanske, Head of TV & on Demand Products at P UR, who is in charge of the project.
NAGRA's OpenTV Video Platform is the core solution to address Tele Columbus' aggregation challenges. 3SS' 3Ready Framework is a complementary key technology foundation for the service, delivering a custom-designed and unified experience across hybrid set-top-boxes and major streaming devices. When combined, the result is a compelling and flexible Android TV and multiscreen solution that offers AI-enhanced personalized discovery and a superior UX.
NAGRA's best-of-breed partner ecosystem and global industry experience puts us in a unique position to truly understand the challenges customers, like Tele Columbus, face. Our mission is to bring together cohesive and tailored solutions that help them reach business goals, said Nancy Goldberg, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at NAGRA. Together with 3SS, Harmonic, Broadpeak and Sagemcom, we're delivering truly world-class video entertainment to Tele Columbus subscribers.
Tele Columbus' new service will feature OTT services, including Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube, as part of its hybrid DVB-C (cable) plus OTT Android TV STB, Smart TV and iOS and Android mobile device delivery. The hybrid solution will complement live TV with advanced features, such catchup, startover, timeshift, PVR and full compliance with the requirements of content owners and/or German legislation.
We are extremely proud to have been selected by Tele Columbus to deliver this landmark next-generation project, said Stefan Blickensdoerfer, 3SS CTO. The joint proposition of the NAGRA Open TV Video Platform deeply integrated with 3Ready represents a truly leading-edge, future-ready solution which will enable Tele Columbus to achieve its business objectives, now and going forward, while ensuring superior user experiences for subscribers.
