Amino Technologies wins contract with Deutsche Glasfaser

AIM-listed Amino Technologies has been chosen by German fibre-to-the-home provider Deutsche Glasfaser to support the second phase rollout of its next-generation TV platform.

Deutsche Glasfaser, which provides greenfield FTTH services across Germany, is working with Amino to support the next stage of the deployment of its end-to-end TV platform, DGTV. Following an initial launch of the platform in 2014, it has selected Amino to complement its existing platform, which is deployed as part of its triple-play bundle offering, and also as a white-labelled offering to wholesale customers, including ISPs and cable operators.

Amino will provide the German group with next-generation hardware capabilities via the Amino VIEW Aria 6 device and will implement Amino ENABLE software as part of the supporting software stack.

Chief executive officer Donald McGarva said: "We are delighted to be have been chosen by Deutsche Glasfaser for this exciting project. As customers demand more and more from their TV platforms, whether it's advanced apps, SVOD services, OTT multiscreen UX, UHD video or Android capabilities, operators need to ensure that they are able to do this with ease, and have flexible enough infrastructure to continue to deploy new services at the same rate customers begin to expect them."
