Accedo Powers Orange Live Box Play

Accedo Powers Orange Live Box Play Las Vegas, 9 January 2013 Accedo, the global market leader in TV application solutions, and Orange, leading French Telecom operator, today announced a partnership to enable an advanced end-to-end solution for the upcoming Orange Live Box Play set-top-box.

The Orange Live Box Play uses Accedos leading and flexible application management solution, Accedo Application Sphere, which provides a fully customizable front-end user interface with multiple existing applications, as well as a highly scalable and secure back-end system. AAS has been designed for integration flexibility and supports integration all IP-based TV middlewares and any subscriber management, device management or content security solutions. AAS was awarded best technology innovation at the Connected TV World Summit earlier this year.

Accedo will be a key enabler of the Orange Appshop section, which will include many applications at the time of launch. Users will be able to access a range of program-specific contextual apps, further enriching the viewer experience.

Orange is the leading Telecom operator in France and we are excited to be working with them on this innovative project, commented Michael Lantz, CEO, Accedo. The combination of Oranges powerful Live Box Play set-top-box and Accedos application management solution, together with the international, as well as local apps, will provide an unmatched interactive TV experience for the end user.

Thanks to its Intel Groveland set-top-box media processor, Live Box Play will offer unrivalled graphics. Orange intends to integrate social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, enabling viewers to access those sites on a split screen whilst watching TV or on-demand programs. The gyro remote control facilitates navigation and will be equipped with a full keyboard in the back.

Accedo has impressive experience developing TV applications, with a highly flexible proven application management solution commented Jean-Bernard Willem, Head of content marketing Orange France. Accedo was therefore a natural choice to partner with us on this solution, which we believe will be an extremely strong proposition for the end-user.

Accedo will be demonstrating the solution at CES in its suite at the Venetian (#28.106) in Las Vegas from 8th-11th January.
