SPB TV AG, a leading global provider of end-to-end OTT TV, IPTV and mobile TV solutions, presented its innovative single-platform product line at the Mobile World Congress. It showed SPB TV Rosing, the fast launch TV platform for operators, SPB TV Astra transcoder powered by Intel, and SPB TV Home, the next-generation home viewing solution with TV box and innovative remote control.
CEO Kirill Filippov took part in the key conference session on mobile video to share with industry leaders SPB TV’s experience of delivering mobile TV solutions in international markets. The discussion focused on current trends and prospects for mobile video, networks limitations and 5G, content demand and monetization.
“Live streaming and local content are key factors for mobile video future. People want to watch what resonates with them, when and where convenient”, said Kirill Filippov in the panel discussion with senior executives from CNN, Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, Viacom and DOCOMO Digital. “Live TV with a one-week catch-up library is most popular with viewers and convenient for content providers.
