A1 Group se asocia con UniqCast para lanzar un servicio de streaming OTT de marca blanca en la nube
La división International Business de A1 Group ha ampliado su oferta con una plataforma OTT en la nube de marca blanca para empresas. La plataforma funciona con la tecnología IPTV/OTT de UniqCast.
“We joined forces with UniqCast to meet the changing needs of our wholesale customers. As a global leader in distributing international TV channels, we understand the importance of offering integrated OTT solutions as part of our comprehensive service”, said Elena Petrova, Head of Group Content and Broadcasting, International Business, at A1 Group.
Para responder a las necesidades del mercado, A1 se asoció con UniqCast, proveedor de soluciones IPTV/OTT/DVB llave en mano que se utilizan en proyectos de transmisión de vídeo en los cinco continentes. "Ambas empresas operan en mercados internacionales similares y UniqCast cuenta con un historial de éxitos en la implantación de IPTV/OTT en todo el mundo, por lo que era lógico embarcarse en esta colaboración conjunta", añadió Petrova.
A1´s white-label cloud-based OTT streaming service will target operators, broadcasters, and content owners, offering a comprehensive solution that includes content from up to 60 international premium-quality channels on top of the technical platform. Enhanced by A1´s existing playout and supplementary managed services, this offering becomes a thoroughly well-rounded solution.
What makes this white-label video streaming service attractive to A1 clients is the fact that it is a low-CAPEX platform with a pay-as-you-grow model, making it accessible even for smaller operators. This new addition of the OTT platform to A1's portfolio of services offered will undoubtedly make it even more appealing to both A1’s existing and potential clients. “Our aim was to deliver a solution for A1 Group, designed to accommodate operators of various types and sizes with adaptable business models”, said Darko Robič, CEO at UniqCast, emphasizing the flexibility of the solution
El potente backend de la plataforma UniqCast permite a los operadores presentar y promocionar sus contenidos de forma exclusiva con diferentes opciones de monetización. Además, aprovechando las funciones multiusuario de la plataforma, A1 ofrecerá un modelo de marca blanca a cada operador, lo que les permitirá personalizar sus servicios con contenidos, precios y experiencia de usuario distintos, entre otros.
A1 will also focus on delivering a premium user experience, allowing each operator to create their own UI on all client applications tailored to their specific requirements. In addition to content and pricing, the premium user experience (UX) plays a pivotal role in subscriber retention. “A1 will now be able to deliver a platform with a genuinely premium UX which will significantly help the operators to attract new subscribers and minimize churn. “, noted Darko Robič, CEO at UniqCast.
“We are proud of our long-term relationships with our clients and our dedication to continuously improving our offerings. With A1's extensive experience in IPTV/OTT solutions and partnership with various TV channels, we believe that we are well-equipped to provide the precise white-label OTT solution our clients need, especially backed by top-tier infrastructure,” concluded Ms. Petrova.
“We are thrilled to announce that we have already started our first projects together, and we are looking forward to enhancing the streaming experience for operators and TV broadcasters worldwide,” stated Mr. Robič.
