France Telecom, under the Orange brand, is one of the leading IPTV operators in the world in terms of numbers of subscribers.
Recently, FT has selected Orca and Viaccess to supply the middleware and content discovery platforms and the CAS for the next generation subscription TV service, “NewTV”. FT is progressively migrating its customer base of 3.711 million subscribers to this new platform, powered by Orca’s middleware, RiGHTv. The process is expected to be completed by the end of 2012 and will empower the Orange service to cope with the new challenges of OTT video, multiple screens and unlimited content.
This represents the largest-ever IPTV middleware migration, a process in which 3 different existing services over ADSL, FTTH and hybrid satellite-IP will be converged onto a single unified platform; Orca’s RiGHTv.
