M7 Deutschland is expanding and extending its long-standing partnership with Austrian network operator LIWEST.
In addition to the basic cable TV offer with free-TV, pay-TV and foreign-language channels, M7 now also supplies the network operator with full IPTV licence rights including advanced functions.
LIWEST can thus expand its IPTV platform with additional TV channels in HD resolution, which enable viewers to consume TV programmes with interactive TV add-on functions. The advanced features include time-shifted TV via restart and replay, TV recordings (NPVR) and multiscreen use on mobile devices.
“Even greater programme diversity in HD quality with interactive functions for contemporary, flexible television are clear added values for LIWEST’s IPTV platform. We are pleased that Upper Austria’s largest network operator has also chosen M7’s extensive licensing portfolio for its growth in the IPTV sector,” said Marco Hellberg, Managing Director of Eviso Germany, the M7 business partner in Germany.
LIWEST, headquartered in Linz, provides television, high-speed internet and fixed-line telephony to more than 145,000 customers in Upper Austria and western Lower Austria via its cable and fibre-optic network as well as its own 5G transmitters.
