Optus Selects Vimond For Sports Project

News Image
Vimond has been chosen by Australian-based company Optus to build and deliver the technical infrastructure to allow Optus customers to view English Premier League (EPL) football games for the next three seasons.

The apps by Optus, which are delivered by Vimond through partners on a suite of devices along with a new 24/7 football channel, will be available to home broadband and post-paid mobile customers. The service will launch in early July.

Vimond was chosen for its experience in enabling the delivery of football content, having powered EPL premium content to several broadcasters in Norway and abroad. The Norwegian based OTT Services provider has also worked with Reuters in the U.S., iflix in Asia and other worldwide content owners and broadcasters.

The app developed for Optus will be available on Android and iOS, as well as Apple TV. This will be followed by Samsung Smart TV and other devices. The app implements adaptive bitrate technology in order to optimise performance for specific screens and deliver the best possible viewing experience.

The Vimond Platform is a suite of software applications and tools that help content owners, broadcasters, and content distributors to manage their video services and publish with full control and efficiency on all devices. It contains solutions like workflow automation and optimization, user management or monetization. Several of the products are also available as standalone solutions.

"There is a growing expectation among consumers that their online sports viewing experience should be as good as if they were watching a broadcast on their TV at home," said Miguel Silva, CCO, Vimond. "It's that premium experience that Optus was looking to deliver to its subscribers – and so they turned to us to take advantage of the expertise we have built up over time in helping our customers provide a first class product."
