Vodafone Germany’s next-gen GigaTV premium personalised over-the-top service has chosen back-office technology from Metrological to gain the ability to anticipate the changing content preferences of viewers.

Metrological’s technology is designed to enable operators to integrate premium OTT services and niche content into a single TV viewer experience. Its application platform delivers a product suite for monetisation, onboarding and managing the lifecycle of web and native apps across set-top boxes.

GigaTV users will now have access to a wide variety of premium OTT services as well as niche content and localised apps, integrated directly into the GigaTV UI from the Metrological App Library that offers over 300 TV apps.

“GigaTV...aligns with Metrological’s vision to integrate the TV and app experience in one single view,” explained Metrological senior vice president of sales and marketing Thijs Bijleveld. “Vodafone Germany recognised early on the value of delivering a universal search capability across their full content library. We are very honoured Vodafone Germany selected Metrological as [its] OTT partner.”
