Foxxum is pre-integrating the ACCESS CO portfolio of TV browsers into its Smart TV App Store on Linux and Android devices.

Foxxum’s Smart TV Solution is already available in 20 languages for a wide range of smart TVs from over 30 different manufacturers, including Hisense, Haier, Sharp and TCL, among others.

Foxxum works with brands across all stages of the global consumer electronics value chain, including silicon vendors, device manufacturers, operators or content partners. It also has developed and distributes premium apps like Dailymotion, Deutsche Welle, Giallo Zafferano, Howdini, SBT and PlayKids. Building on premium content partnerships around the globe, Foxxum TV App Store gives access to over one billion video titles across multiple content providers.

“Smart TVs have long been plagued with slow, clunky user interfaces, but these days are now over thanks to companies like Foxxum,” said Neale Foster, COO at ACCESS Europe. “Since the inception of ACCESS back in the 1980s, we have constantly focused on delivering a better quality of service to consumers, regardless of the platform, device or access method. Today, we are proud to be involved in enabling Smart TV services to compete with linear TV, using lightning speed browser engines and improved search and recommendation systems that adapt to any consumer on any continent.”

Ronny Lutzi, CEO at Foxxum, added: “As users connect to smart-TV services from a wider variety of devices than ever before, ACCESS enables us to better manage and control multi-device access for any number of users, while maintaining a consistent and excellent quality of experience. The use of ACCESS’ solutions also ensures that our services comply with the latest industry standards, making it perfectly suited to a worldwide audience with very different requirements.”
