Viaccess-Orca has recently announced that Spanish telecommunications provider Avatel delivers its OTT (Avatel TV) service with an end-to-end solution from the company previously mentioned Ateme, and Optiva Media. The joint solution includes Viaccess-Orca’s Service Delivery Platform (SDP), Multi-DRM, and Secure Video Player; encoding, origin packaging, Cloud DVR, and CDN from Ateme; and multiscreen apps from Optiva Media.

Avatel TV offers its subscribers 100 online channels and an on-demand catalog of more than 2,500 movies and TV series. Its platform offers its content through an Android TV set-top box and an iOS/Android mobile device or a laptop.

“Expanding to a triple-play offering with OTT gives us significant competitive advantage in the marketplace, and we needed experienced technology providers by our side to ensure the success of our new service offering,” said Oriol Pedrals, Technology Director at Avatel. “Viaccess-Orca, Ateme, and Optiva Media provide us with a best-of-breed solution for video streaming, coupled with unparalleled expertise in the OTT environment. With VO’s lead on the integration, we enjoyed a smooth deployment and immediately began offering advanced features, such as personalization, to our subscribers.”

“The OTT environment can be complex for service providers, and we’re excited to team up with Ateme and Optiva Media to offer a solution for video streaming in a single package,” said Arnaud Alvarez, Executive Vice President, Global Sales at Viaccess-Orca. “Due to COVID restrictions, we worked remotely with Avatel and our partner teams throughout the entire deployment process ⁠— from the point of OTT service kickoff to delivery. Thanks to tightknit collaboration and the world-class, end-to-end OTT solution, this project was a resounding success.”

“Getting an OTT platform up and running can take time due to the need to integrate the multiple components involved,” said Alfredo Navarro, Sales Director at Ateme. “We are thrilled to be part of an end-to-end, integrated ecosystem with Viaccess-Orca and Optiva Media that enables a much shorter time to launch. Avatel was able to get this up and running very quickly to offer viewers across Spain their anywhere, anytime TV experience.”

“Thanks to the excellent products provided by Optiva Media, Viaccess Orca and Ateme, Avatel TV has launched a top technology environment that provides a best-in-class OTT service to its customers in Spain,” said Cristina Garcés, CEO of Optiva Media, an EPAM company.
