“We started as a platform provider and over many years developing and enhancing our product suite, have evolved into a leading end-to-end, interactive, multi-screen TV solution. Today this includes content delivery, apps for mobile and

SmartTV’s and evolution options for legacy systems, including hi-end STB’s. Our heritage and broad experience means that we are well positioned to breathe new life into operator platforms and analytics for a best in class outcome.”

— Mikhail Grachev, CEO, SmartLabs

In 2018, 02, the Czech Republic’s largest fixed, mobile and broadband service provider, launched their next generation TV service, backed by SmartLabs full solution suite.

SmartLabs has created a totally new UHD hybrid STB, with a case designed by Czech designer Martin Tvaruzek, as well as an innovative multiscreen solution for the management and presentation of content from a hybrid (DVB-T2 and IP) network.

The groundbreaking feature delivered by the O2 service is Multi-dimensional TV. Sports fans may choose up to six football, tennis or hockey matches and view them simultaneously in a multi-dimensional mosaic. The user may then select different viewing angles from multiple broadcast cameras in each match as well as selecting which commentary to listen to.

“The plan is to open the system to third-party applications in the following phase. That will make it possible, for example, to have an integrated YouTube player or a DVB-T/T2 tuner for terrestrial broadcasting even without a subscription to O2 TV.”

— Branislav Valo
Project Manager, 02 TV

SmartLabs has migrated the existing solution of 'OT-Optima Telekom d.d.', one of the leading telecommunications operators in Croatia, to the latest version of the SmartTUBE 5 platform.

Optima Telekom subscribers now experience and enjoy enhanced, agile interfaces from SmartLabs.

“Our subscribers are enjoying new features, without the need to replace their STB’s. The whole project, covering implementation and migration of back-end systems, with no downtime, was short and efficient. We believe that by working closely together, Optima Telecom and SmartLabs, have delivered the most innovative interactive TV service on the Croatian market.”

— Luka Malešević
Director of IT and BI, Optima Telekom

SmartLabs migrated subscribers of Baltcom, one of the leading Latvian operators, to the SmartTUBE5 platform without swapping Baltcom legacy STBs and without any engineer visits to subscribers’ homes.

The project involved the migration of the entire subscriber base from Baltcom’s legacy interactive TV platform to the new SmartLabs multi-screen solution. The critical objectives of the project were to make the migration totally transparent for every subscriber and, following migration, to offer existing and new subscribers access to the state-of-the-art multiscreen services delivered by SmartTUBE5.

“We needed to develop a simple and reliable procedure for migration and upgrade of software on subscriber devices. SmartLabs people did great, the process ran smoothly, and all our subscribers got access to the new features and services.”

CEO, Baltcom
