挑战

Swisscom, a leading telecom provider in Switzerland, faced the challenge of upgrading its existing IPTV service to meet the growing demands of its customers. The company needed to enhance the user experience, provide more content, and support multi-screen viewing. Additionally, Swisscom aimed to reduce costs and time-to-market by leveraging an Android-based platform for its new service, Swisscom TV 2.0. The challenge also included ensuring robust content protection and seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
