Fully managed solution provides subscribers
with more TV viewing choices
MARKHAM, ON, July 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Enghouse Networks,
a leading global telecommunications technology and streaming TV
solutions provider, announced today that its SaaS IPTV platform,
EspialTV, has been chosen by GVTC Communications to bring video
streaming services to its customer base.
The Enghouse solution allows GVTC to provide more options to its
subscribers, including the ability to record and view shows on any
connected device, including Amazon's Fire TV, Roku, AppleTV, phones
and tablets. Subscribers will also benefit from the ability to
watch TV programs and movies in leading-edge quality and enjoy new
features like voice-enabled remote control, plus easy access to
popular OTT streaming services.
The new GVTC system also relies on Broadpeak's content delivery
network (CDN) and cloud DPVR solutions. Broadpeak is a leading
provider of CDN and video streaming solutions for content providers
and pay-TV operators worldwide. "Enghouse and Broadpeak have many
successful joint deployments," said Mario
Rainville, Vice President, North
America, Broadpeak. "Our solutions work together to ensure a
more personalized, state-of-the-art experience for
subscribers."
GVTC has looked to Enghouse and Broadpeak to upgrade its current
Cable TV offering to a fully managed streaming TV platform hosted
in the cloud. With superior image and sound quality, plus enhanced
network security, Enghouse Networks' EspialTV and Broadpeak
will deliver video content (including live, catch-up,
digitally recorded (NDVR), and Video-on-Demand) to all of GVTC's
stream subscribers.
"We are committed to empowering the communities in our service
area with leading-edge technology for today's interconnected
world," said Ritchie Sorrells,
President and CEO, GVTC. "Our continued partnership with Enghouse
Networks and Broadpeak allows us to deliver on this promise. With
IPTV, our customers will now be able to access all their favorite
shows on their favorite devices."
"As the TV experience evolves, so does GVTC," said Josh Pettiette, Vice President, Product Business
Development and Strategic Planning, GVTC. "In the 1980s, we built
the infrastructure for cable TV, then high-speed internet in the
'90s, and then Netflix's #1 ranked Fiber Internet in the 2000s.
EspialTV allows us to provide the next step in this journey with
its hosted IPTV platform."
"We are gratified that GVTC selected Enghouse's EspialTV for
this project, based on our track record of delivering outstanding
television experiences," said Mick
McCluskey, Vice President, Product Management, Enghouse
Networks. "Enghouse is renowned for being flexible in meeting
operators' needs. Our operations and deployment team has a unique
skill set and thorough understanding of the video streaming
environment that will aid us in providing GVTC with a
market-leading and highly flexible TV solution."
The Enghouse SaaS EspialTV platform offers GVTC a full set of
content management capabilities, deep insight through analytics,
and flexibility to easily segment and target various markets. It
supports operators of all sizes -- and its flexible, cloud-based
architecture will allow GVTC to control operational costs as their
TV customer base grows.
