Alassema TV Chooses PlayBox Technology

PlayBox Technology has equipped its first TV channel in Libya, Alassema TV. Alassema, Arabic for “capital”, was only recently able to finally touch Libyan soil and start broadcasting from its own premises in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
At the end of 2011, after many difficult years and many challenges in reaching its viewers, Alassema and PlayBox Technology started to design the best possible workflow solution for the Libyan channel (broadcasting from Tunisia at the time). In February 2012 all details were clarified and the contract was signed.
“The Middle East market has been one of great importance for us for years. We grew together and now PlayBox Technology powers over 280 channels in the area”, says Pavlin Rahnev, Director, Solution Sales, PlayBox Technology. “It is a market where a specific business model and extensive support are needed. Long term commitment and straight-forward communications between the two parties is crucial too. That's essential for building strong relations and many years of good business”.
Wanis Elabbar, Technical Director, Alassema Television says: "We have been working with PlayBox Technology equipment since the birth of our channel at the height of the Libyan Revolution. We did that using different satellite providers, such as JASCO and NOORSAT, where AirBox / TitleBox servers proved to be reliable for us. And after much moving around Tunisia and back to Libya, we were finally able to move from one hotel conference room and OB van to our own building with our own studios. Then there was no question but to make our first MCR purchase from PlayBox Technology.” He continues, “We were offered a complete solution that covers all our needs at a very competitive price. PlayBox Technology provided a technical team on-site so that there were no hiccups during the installation and commissioning stages of the project. They were very helpful in consulting us and providing on-site training for our operators. Even the language barrier wasn't an issue. Thank you PlayBox!"
Alexander Stoyanov, Sales Manager, PlayBox Technology, states: “Working with Alassema TV and in particular with Mr. Elabbar was real pleasure. After signing the contract it took a very short time to get started and deliver. In April 2012 we supplied two SD Channel-in-a-Box servers, one for main, and one for backup and a separate SD CaptureBox server together with 32 TB of NAS storage. The whole MCR was designed and built by our engineers including the installation of all third-party equipment.”
