Set-top box maker Abox42 has partnered with PerceptionTV to integrate the latter’s IPTV platform into its M series smart set-top-box software.

Perception TV’s platform is designed to work as a complete OTT multiscreen TV service, integrating live TV, catch-up TV, video-on-demand and cloud-based PVR.

The Abox42 integration will be engineered in-house with both companies providing technical assistance and a marketing plan to “raise the profile of both companies through joint promotion of each other’s products and services.”

“For us it is a great step to partner with PerceptionTV, since PerceptionTV is a recognised player in this market on an international basis with vast experience in delivering complete multiscreen propositions to operators,” said Abox42 CEO,  Matthias Greve.

“The combination of Abox42’s set top box platform delivering a feature rich, future proof and secure solution to the first screen, along with Perceptions ability to seamlessly integrate the wireless devices, provides operators with exactly what they need.“
