Allente launches 4K Google TV dongle with 3SS and SEI Robotics

Nordic pay TV provider Allente has teamed with tech outfit 3 Screen Solutions and SEI Robotics to launch a new 4K dongle product for OTT TV.

Allente says that this is the first customized operator streaming dongle in EMEA using Google TV.

The new offering provides Allente’s customers with a user experience (UX) enabled by the 3Ready product framework, integrated with Allente’s super-aggregated pay-TV offerings on other devices including STBs powered by Android TV and Hybrid DVB-S STBs.

The Allente app for the dongle is installed from Google Play during first time installation. The remote control features an Allente button to launch the experience as well as a TV button that leads the viewer directly to live TV inside the Allente experience. The device features an Ethernet port, giving subscribers the option of wired connectivity, so that viewing enjoyment is not impacted when there is unstable Wi-fi, according to the partners.

“The Google TV interface gives operators the benefit of Google’s best in class capabilities while reducing operator investments and time to market. We congratulate Allente on launching their new Google TV device as one of our first operator partners globally,” said Amanda Short, Director, Global TV Platform Partnerships, Google.
