SoftAtHome launches STB for African market

SoftAtHome has announced the launch of a new hybrid OTT/Satellite set-top box for the African market.

The new STB has been deployed in Ivory Coast, with future rollouts planned for Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mali, with additional countries in a later phase.

The device, which integrates SoftAtHome’s ImpressioNG Platform as a Service, natively embeds African paid-TV Canal+ International and several additional connected services including Orange VOD, Canal+ Replay, YouTube, TV5Monde+, or local TV channels.

The company relies on VASP cloud gateway platform, a service platform aggregation that centralises STB service management, and facilitates integration and deployment of third-party connected services. 

David Viret Lange, CEO of SoftAtHome said: “SoftAtHome is proud to have developed ImpressioNG white labelled user experience as a service, selected by Orange, that brings a customizable user experience, content super aggregation, and OTT connected services”.
