In the second quarter, we accomplished significant milestones for our business. The first being that NOS, Portugal's primary cable operator, commercially launched a next-generation video service using Espial's RDK based G4 Client solution. NOS has delivered a highly competitive advanced TV service, which should build confidence for service providers worldwide looking to adopt Espial and RDK to deliver next generation Pay TV services. Tele Columbus, a large German cable operator, has also announced that they plan to commercially launch their advanced TV service with Espial at the end of this year. The progress we have made in helping our customers launch new TV services demonstrates Espial's leadership in this market. said Jaison Dolvane, CEO, Espial.
