Mirada launches Android TV product with Mexican provider
26th Oct 2020 15:20
(Sharecast News) - Digital television software company Mirada announced the commercial launch of its Android TV operator tier with a custom launcher on Monday with Mexican operator Izzi.
The AIM-traded firm said it was expected to be "one of the most relevant" deployments of Android TV worldwide, resulting from a close collaboration between itself, Izzi and Android developer Google.
It said the launch was the extension of Izzi's pay television service from Linux set-top boxes, smartphones, tablets and laptops to Android TV hybrid set-top boxes.
The service was based on Mirada's 'Iris' solution, rather than Google's generic user interface, so that Izzi's brand identity and the subscribers' viewing experience remained the same.
It also "enriched" the default Android TV experience with premium functionalities of Mirada's Iris solution.
For the project, Mirada said it had partnered with Google for Android TV integration, Verimatrix for conditional access, and new premium set-top box manufacturers including Skyworth and ZTE.
"We showcased our Iris solution for the Android TV Operator Tier at numerous international trade shows last year, and are delighted with the interest it has received so far," said chief executive officer José Luis Vázquez.
"With the recent launch of our Android TV solution in Spain and several other projects currently underway, we are delighted to be able to announce this commercial launch with the leading Mexican operator and our long-term client, Izzi."
At 1258 GMT, shares in Mirada were up 15.38% at 75p.
