US-based fiber optic network provider Salsgiver is to trial
Amino's Freedom Jump OTT device as part of a premium
service offering to their customers.
Under the gotlit.com
brand, Freeport PA-based Salsgiver has rolled out a fiber
network across an area north east of Pittsburgh, offering
high quality broadband and phone services. Now the company
is market-testing OTT-based entertainment services using
Amino's "companion" device to deliver
movie-on-demand services, catch-up TV, Internet music
services, applications and social networking.
Amino's North American Director of Sales Telco
Accounts, Dan Carufel said: "Ambitious fiber optic
network operators like Salsgiver see OTT-based service
delivery as a natural enhancement to their offerings. The
Freedom Jump provides a powerful yet cost effective
solution with a simple "HDMI in HDMI out"
installation enabling operators to position the device as
value-added service without the need of expensive
'truck-roll'."
Salsgiver CEO Loren Salsgiver added: "Our fiber optic
network rollout is being very well received by customers
who are delighted by the added value high speed access can
deliver. The opportunity to deliver additional
entertainment services - via OTT - is compelling and
we're encouraged by the response from customers."
Salsgiver is deploying an additional 300 miles of fiber
optic network in Armstrong and Indiana Counties to
compliment their existing fiber optic network servicing the
AK Valley which includes Freeport, Sarver, Natrona Heights,
Brackenridge, Tarentum, Creighton, New Kensington and
Springdale, PA.
