ACCESS CO., LTD (IBC stand 14.D14), and Zenterio AB (IBC balcony suite BS20), today announced demonstrations of their joint solution for operator services, combining Zenterio OS and JetUI with the NetFront Browser family for seamless experiences on all screens. Today, the solutions are used by a number of tier 1 operators in Europe, including Deutsche Telekom, Hrvatski Telekom, OTE Group and M7 Group.

Our relationship with Zenterio started in 2014. Since then, we have together established the benefits of a tight integration between operating system and HTML5 platform to provide the flexible, fast moving environment that operators need, said Dr. Neale Foster, Managing Director and COO at ACCESS Europe. Zenterio shares our strong belief in developing turnkey solutions based on open standards, and we are proud that innovative operators looking to offer best in class multiscreen services are deploying our joint solution. Our IBC demonstrations will showcase to operators how they can deliver exciting media experiences in the living room, on the go and in the connected car.

The ACCESS NetFront Browser NX HTML5 solution is based on enhancing open source solutions with technologies and experience deployed in over 1.5 billion devices worldwide and is compatible with worldwide industry standards for interactive services such as HbbTV, BML and Hybridcast.

Visitors to IBC will be able to witness the joint solution, which combines ACCESS NetFront Browser NX HTML5 engine with the independent operating system for interactive TV Zenterio OS and the Operator focused HTML5 user experience, JetUI. The expertise of ACCESS and Zenterio reduces integration time and provides operators with a flexible choice of set-top box platform to enable them to offer the latest advanced services to their customers both more quickly and at lower cost.

Our relationship with ACCESS is based on mutual understanding of the value achieved by combining our standards focused products, and our track record implementing Zenterio OS with the NetFront Browser family confirms that together we are delivering the high quality multiscreen service platform that operators need, added Marco Frattolin, VP Product Management, Zenterio.
