Beesmart provides a comprehensive application layer for providing interactive TV services, converging TV, phone and internet services on a single platform. This benefits operators and integrators by offering an ultra-fast user interface, intelligent content recommendation system, home media sharing, over-the-top support and the ability to host multiple operators on a single service delivery platform.
By working with Dune HD, operators benefit from a proven, available solution with an innovative range of features, customisable interface and a small form factor. This makes it simple for them to seamlessly deliver compelling content to users, optimizing service monetization by delighting subscribers. As well as entry-level IPTV players, Dune HD offers a middle and high range of hybrid solutions with support for Blu-ray and Digital TV (Satellite/Cable/TV) allowing operators to choose the best solution for their service offerings. All of these are available direct and can also be sold through Dune HD’s extensive existing retail sales channel.
