As one of Europe’s largest pay-TV operators, Telekom Romania, a Deutsche Telekom subsidiary, has developed a stellar reputation for delivering reliable, innovative, and easy-to-use offerings including satellite, IPTV, and cable television.
Recently, the telecommunications operator embarked on an expedition into the OTT multiscreen world to address the growing consumer demand for a more personalized and interactive television experience on every screen. This case study documents Telekom Romania’s groundbreaking journey, describing — in detail — how the operator completed a massive infrastructure upgrade with multiple technology vendors in just five short months.
By choosing VO - TV Everywhere, an open best-of-breed solution, combined from a variety of ecosystem partners, vs. a single proprietary platform from one vendor, Telekom Romania has greater control over its new IPTV and OTT service “Telekom TV,” which delivers live, VOD, and nPVR content to millions of subscribers on a wide range of devices, including TVs, PCs, smartphones, and tablets.
