"Zattoo-powered personalized TV service debuts from Digitec Galaxus"
Zattoo, a leading provider of TV and video services, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Digitec Galaxus, the largest online retailer in Switzerland. This collaboration marks Digitec Galaxus' entry into the entertainment market with a custom TV solution.
Digitec Galaxus, known for its mobile and internet subscriptions, is expanding its services to include television entertainment. The company has chosen Zattoo's fully hosted and managed end-to-end white-label TV-as-a-Service product as its partner in this venture.
Zattoo recently launched Universal TV (UTV), a new generation of its big-screen app. UTV is designed to deliver a consistent user experience across all TV platforms and devices. The application, initially available on Android TV, will soon be available on Apple iOS and tvOS, Android mobile, and web browsers.
Universal TV is built on a single codebase that covers all major platforms, ensuring a seamless and unified user experience. This unified approach is expected to set a new standard for TV streaming services in Switzerland.
Roger Elsener, CEO of Zattoo, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, "This partnership highlights the strength of Zattoo's end-to-end TV and video services." He further added, "We are thrilled to be a part of Digitec Galaxus' journey into the entertainment market."
Andreas Kundert, Head of Galaxus Mobile, Internet, and TV at Digitec Galaxus, is equally enthusiastic about the partnership. He expressed his happiness at finding a strong partner in Zattoo for the expansion of their range of services.
In addition to this partnership, Zattoo has also secured Kabelnoord, a provider of internet, television, and telephony in Northern Netherlands, as a new customer. Kabelnoord is upgrading the TV streaming services for its 25,000 customers with Zattoo's TV-as-a-Service solution.
Zattoo's comprehensive, hosted, and managed unicast platform was a key factor in Kabelnoord's decision to partner with Zattoo. This partnership further expands Zattoo's customer base, which already includes over 30 TV platform customers across 12 countries in Europe.
With this partnership, Zattoo continues to shape the future of TV and streaming for operators and internet service providers. The offering from Zattoo provides a flexible and sustainable TV-as-a-service platform that can be scaled for further services and expansions.
Digitec Galaxus, with its over 3.3 million customers in its home market, is poised to disrupt the Swiss TV market with its custom TV solution provided by Zattoo. The company will create a TV brand on a scalable infrastructure, enabling them to serve B2B customers with tailored wholesale products and support their growth in the Swiss TV market.
This partnership between Zattoo and Digitec Galaxus is set to redefine the TV landscape in Switzerland, offering a unified user experience across all platforms and devices. The future of television in Switzerland is undoubtedly exciting with this collaboration.
