Estonian multiservice TV provider Elisa has gone live with a hybrid multiscreen service assisted by 3Screen Solutions (3SS) as prime contractor, along with NAGRA, Technicolor Connected Home, and t4h. (Tech4home) as key technology suppliers.
The new offering called Elisa Elamus, described as super-aggregated, is based on Android TV OS Operator Tier, available via DVB-C (cable), DVB-T (terrestrial), IPTV and OTT platforms.
