Agile TV, United Teleports and BNS launch a new TV service that combines cable and OTT in the same interface

In order to address the limitations of video services and the specific needs of the North American market, Agile TV, United Teleports and BNS have joined forces in a solution that combines traditional pay TV and OTT services in the same interface.

Tier II and Tier III network operators in the United States face the challenge of generating sufficient revenue from video services to offset considerable capital and operating costs, as the rise of vMVPDs and OTT services “continues to erode market share.” The service AgileTV of United Teleports y BNS was created to offer a combination of “service management, innovation and shared risk” so that network operators can offer competitive and regionalized services without the burden of financing and maintaining complex pay television systems.

The joint service addresses the most salient issues for US network operators. This fully managed service, supported by a cloud-based and monitored distribution infrastructure, offers super aggregation of OTT apps, universal search and pay TV channels, so that operators can personalize the service to achieve a unique positioning in the market and consolidate subscriber loyalty. Additionally, the benefits generated by the television services platform are share, which benefits both parties as the video service achieves its goals.

Rubén Señor-Megias, sales director of AgileTV, defines this project as an “ideal partnership” to transfer “our experience and success” to the US market. On the part of United Teleports, its CEO, Ricardo Dias, subraya que “el mercado está maduro para este tipo de disrupción y esperamos dar a los operadores una mejor opción para ofrecer todo el espectro de entretenimiento”. Finalmente, Chuck Hasek, technical director of BNS, confía en que “este servicio pueda llenar el vacío existente en cuanto a servicios de vídeo rentables y eficientes desde el punto de vista operativo”.
