IPTV hosting
IPTV hosting is a Business –to– Business solution for distribution of interactive digital television using fiber optical network.
Vestitel is the first Bulgarian company, to develop this business model, based on partnership with local operators and Internet Service Providers. The Partners utilize their fiber optical infrastructure and Vestitel provides the platform, TV streaming, content, TV rights and licensing.
The service is provided under TIVIA brand, but also the partner can provide the TV service under their our branding.
The technical platform is based on the "off the shelf" solution from leading vendors like Orca Interactive (France Telecom - Orange),Tandberg, Widevine, Harmonic, BitBand, Motorola. The multicast based transmission guarantees the premium quality of the digital television as well as the lower bandwidth requirements.
The start of the IPTV Hosting business model was in 2008, and now we have more than 30 partners and the partnership list keeps growing.
The IP-based platform also allows significant opportunities to make the TV viewing experience more interactive and personalized.
The platform provides opportunity of white labeling – partner can choose the layout of the portal interface, the color scheme, as well as to develop special portals aimed to the specific target groups.
With TIVIA Interactive TV Portal the customer has access to the following services:
- Video - the customer can browse a video catalog of movies, music, games etc, to watch trailers and then select an event. The playout of the selected item starts nearly instantaneously on the customer's TV set.
