TV Everywhere
ADB relaunch focuses on Connected Solutions
he well-known STB
vendor ADB has made
a strategic move to
address the growing
convergence of TV and IoT
with the launch of ADB
Connected Solutions. A new
range of application specific
software solutions have been
designed for Personal and
Business TV and IoT.
ADB says they are built on its
proven expertise and 20 years of
award-winning industry firsts,
combined with a clear vision for
the future needs of the Connected
Age. ADB Connected Solutions will
enable service providers to
maximise the opportunities
brought by the new Connected Age
and deliver
compelling
connected
experiences that
today’s consumers
crave.
The company says the rise in
Internet connectivity has
dramatically changed how society
works and plays and created an era
T
that some are calling the
Connected Age, and by 2020 it is
estimated that there will be 26
billion connected devices, 8 billion
people with either mobile or fixed
broadband and 1.5 billion homes
with digital TV. As a result the payTV and IoT markets are bursting
with opportunity and service
providers are looking for new ways
to deliver TV and IoT services to
consumers and businesses that
drive revenues and profitability.
“This is a new chapter for ADB
– we are building on our past
experience and securing our future.
We have a strong vision in the new
Connected Age and we are focused
and committed to make this a
reality for our customers and their
consumers,”
declared
Peter
Balchin, CEO
of ADB. “We
believe that
in an age of Internet connectivity,
there is a need for fast and reliable
and cost-effective solutions that
ensure consumers and businesses
“We have a strong
vision in the new
Connected Age.”
are always connected.”
Along with its Connected
Solutions, ADB has also launched
ConnectedOS, a
hybrid cloud and
device centric
platform for
developing,
deploying and
managing
connected devices for video and the
Internet of Things.
ConnectedOS is the backbone of
all of the ADB Connected Solutions
and acts as a transition layer
between a wide range of connected
technologies, industry platforms
and protocols, simplifying
integration, speed to market and
reducing the cost in delivering
connected services to clients.
The new portfolio of Connected
Solutions is designed to drive
change and enable new business
opportunities in the Connected
Age:
Personal TV – delivers seamless
TV experiences across any screen,
allowing consumers to watch their
favourite content across set-top
boxes, mobile devices and PCs

Business IoT – improves the
efficiency of critical business

ADB will be debuting its
