According to the company, the system will in due course be further expanded to cover all time-shifting options, and multiple platform including STBs and smart TVs.
Antik notes that less than 24 hours after the start Klan Im already had 10,000 registered mobile (Android and iOS) devices. This is also the company’s third OTT project in the region, with it also having supplied a solution to Albania’s public broadcaster RTSH and the Kosovo fixed-line operator PTK.
