TCA is migrating from Cable TV to 100% streaming video service with Smartlabs and Red Bee Media

Smartlabs, the leading provider of multi-screen solutions for video streaming, announces that US-based operator TCA has selected Smartlabs SmartTUBE Multiscreen Solution with EPG metadata provided by Red Bee Media, a global media services provider. This strategic decision marks TCA’s migration from its legacy cable TV service to a state-of-the-art, 100% streaming, multiscreen solution.

DJ Weber, TCA General Manager, “Streaming video is here to stay, and it is a much more sustainable solution.  For us, the Smartlabs multiscreen solution provides both a cable-like video experience for the older generation (which we need) as well as a more modern interface, needed for the younger generation.  All future video subscriber sales will come from our younger generation”.

Gary Hamer, Smartlabs’ SVP Sales and Business Development, explains: “We are happy to offer smaller operators and service providers our proven technology, facilitating their smooth transition to the new, sustainable business models, which address customers’ needs and expectations while enabling their steady growth”.

Jason Marchese, Head of Sales, Market Area Americas: “At Red Bee Media, we believe in the power of seamless integration and enriching user experiences. Our EPG metadata, rich media content, and images enhance the visual appeal of applications, while empowering Smartlabs’ search engine to swiftly locate desired content. We are thrilled to partake in the future of streaming by assisting Smartlabs in helping TCA’s content reach its widest possible audience.”
