Avatel has adopted an on-premises architecture for the deployment, using VO’s multi-DRM and Secure Video Player to deliver premium live and VOD content with protection against piracy or unauthorized use on any device.

“Expanding to a triple-play offering with OTT gives us significant competitive advantage in the marketplace, and we needed experienced technology providers by our side to ensure the success of our new service offering,” said Oriol Pedrals, Technology Director at Avatel. “Viaccess-Orca, Ateme, and Optiva Media provide us with a best-of-breed solution for video streaming, coupled with unparalleled expertise in the OTT environment. With VO’s lead on the integration, we enjoyed a smooth deployment and immediately began offering advanced features, such as personalization, to our subscribers.”

Ateme played a key role as supplier of multi-codec encoding, origin/packaging in any major format, scalable cloud DVR, and audience-aware CDN. It also supplies dynamic ad insertion systems.
