After deploying Zenterio OS on Set-Top Boxes in Slovakia, Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Greece, Deutsche Telekom has launched the STB middleware in Croatia. which will be used by Hrvatski Telekom (HT), a Deutsche Telekom (DT) majority-owned operator, to power its new entry-level IPTV offering MAXtv.
By separating software from hardware and providing a harmonised and independent software layer, Zenterio OS is claimed to reduce integration time and is said to offer operators, such as HT, the flexibility to work with any STB vendor across different countries and ecosystems. Using Zenterio OS, HT can offer next-generation interactive television services to its customers faster and at a lower cost, the company said.
