Provider of on-demand TV software and solutions, Espial (News

"TV Connect attracts a wide variety of leading broadcasters, telcos, content providers, and OTT players from around the world, making it the perfect platform for Espial to demonstrate its extensive range of solutions designed to help operators monetize the multiplatform environment," said Kirk Edwardson, director of marketing at Espial, in a statement.

The Espial set top box client is a comprehensive toolset solution dealing with middleware and applications that optimizes the development and deployment of TV services on set top box platforms. As it takes advantage of HTML5, the client is able to help in delivering a high-quality user experience with faster time to market and significantly reduced development cost.
Furthermore, the client is capable of adapting to a variety of networking requirements, supporting broadcast, IPTV (News

Also to be highlighted at TV Connect is the Espial Media Service Platform, a powerful system expressly for introducing, managing and monetizing a seamless multiscreen user experience.
Earlier this month, Espial joined the SCTE’s Society for Broadband Professionals, a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the standard of broadband engineering in the global telecommunications industry. As a member of SCTE, the company will be actively involved in promoting the group’s mission.
In February, Wi-LAN Inc., a technology innovation and licensing company, signed a partnership with Espial to license some of Espial’s patents relating to video over IP technology.
