TOYA selects Codespot’s Android TV-based middleware as its NextGen platform

Codespot, the software solutions arm of Picasso Ventures, announced today that it had signed a contract to deliver its recently announced Android TV-based middleware platform to innovative Polish cable provider TOYA. The solution will power TOYA’s next generation TOYA Maxx 4K Set-top Box offering, which will be deployed early in Q4 2022.

The solution will smoothly integrate the operator's existing offerings, such as Linear TV, video on demand (VOD), and Catch-up TV with services offered by Google's platform such as voice control or support for premium Over-the-top (OTT) streaming services.

We are delighted to be working with TOYA, known on the market as an innovator. Launching Codespot-powered Operator Tier Android TV hybrid DVB/IPTV/OTT platform will prove that reputation - said Jakub Górski, Managing Partner and co-founder of Codespot.

We are glad that we’ll be able to offer new services to our customers through an easy-to-use user interface, which brings innovation but at the same time does not forget about the habits of our more traditional subscribers  - added Jacek Kobierzycki, CEO of TOYA.

We have designed our platform to be in line with the best practices of Google's Android TV program and at the same time, to be compatible with the specifics of the broadcast environment. Thanks to that, video service operators can not only instantly benefit from Android ecosystem features, but also keep their products up-to-date in the dynamically changing OTT landscape - said Adam Dawidziuk, Chief Software Architect and co-founder of Codespot.

More details regarding this cooperation will be revealed during the International Broadcast Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam on September
9-12, 2022.
