Iptv Box Android Set Top Box Streaming Player Live Tv Quad-Core VOD

Our IPTV box or a set-top box is a device used to convert streaming signals received via the internet protocol into a format that a TV can read and reproduce. In other words, set-top boxes translate the language of the internet protocol. Our boxes are often connected to the TV via HDMI or AV cables, or even through Wi-Fi connection for newer models.

• Fast time to market

To launch TV service is quite easy on Goose platform. Please refer to “Steps to start business on Goose platform” to know how easy. Operator can also make a trial on www.loosegoose.tech. From sign-up to watching TV program on client device, operator even can complete tasks within 20 minutes by following workflow steps in VNO portal. For commercial launch, TV services can be launched within days if well-planning have been done in advance.

• Low TCO and low risk

Goose provides an affordable TV SaaS service. Not like most TV SaaS platforms from other vendor, Goose charges operator in user basis instead of usage mode such as streaming bandwidth. The latter is not friendly to broadcast TV service which is in heavy-usage mode. Please refer to “costs calculation of some typical scenarios” to feel how low to run service on Goose platform. Platform is maintained by Goose team. XXXXX TV only care about channel content.

• Sell TV service through alliance business

For some reasons, for example, to leverage sales channel for some small broadband operator or operate a TV brand in a specific niche market, such as hotel, if XXXXX TV is willing to let 3^rd party to operate TV business, Goose supports it.
