The Swiss network operator senseLAN selects the ZATTOO TV Platform for the complete relaunch of its NexTV service.

Based upon ZATTOO’s White Label approach, the TV product is fully hosted and managed by the ZATTOO TV Platform and available on a wide range of applications and devices such as Apple TV, Android TV™, Amazon Fire TV, mobile devices and web-based applications. Additionally, senseLAN is the second ZATTOO customer to have opted for the 4K/UHD set-top box powered by Android TV, offered in partnership with Skyworth.

NexTV comes with a full set of features and functions as part of the TV experience including live TV as well as interactive features such as nPVR, 7-day catchup, replay, instant restart and live pause to provide NexTV customers with a cutting-edge TV experience.

NexTV gives access to more than 300 channels, many of which are available in full HD quality. Also on offer are up to 16 My Sports channels which NextTV customers can add to their subscription and access directly from their channel lineup, thereby offering the complete entertainment and sports TV experience.

“The project with senseLAN was special in that it marks what is a new and likely future oriented way of delivering a fully hosted and managed TV platform: It was implemented entirely remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.” says Astrid Boecken, Director Project and Client Success Management at ZATTOO. ”Together with senseLAN, we delivered the new NexTV platform in just ten weeks from kick off to go live. We could benefit from many years of experience and, despite the difficult situation, we were able to meet our delivery milestones exactly on schedule.”

“With ZATTOO as the partner for our new NexTV platform we were able to carry out a modern and futureproof IPTV system for our customers in a very short time. During the whole kick off and also after ZATTOO was always a very competent and helpful partner.“ says Simon Lehmann at senseLAN.

“With the ability for our customers to choose from different IPTV platforms (such as Android Launcher STB, Apple TV, Android TV) we are convinced that we are ready to meet or even exceed our customer demands.“
