Next Generation Broadcasting (NGB), which operates as consumer brand Smart TV, will supply a DVB-T/T2 receiver conformance regime To Digital TV labs, an independent receiver conformance products and services provider, as per a new contract. This will assist the rollout of DTT services in select African markets.
NGB provides independent DTT distribution platforms and works with local governments and broadcasters across Africa, specifically in Ghana, Kenya and Uganda. These include an 8-20-channel pay-TV bouquet as well as free-to-air services and interactivity and are already deployed.
Digital TV Labs and NGB are working to develop a pragmatic set-top-box specification and to roll out a conformance regime meant for African markets.
Speaking about the contract, Anders Liljekvist, director of business development with NGB, said :We are extending the number of STB suppliers for our African operations and needed to set up a structured approval process with more extensive conformance testing to ensure that our customers can buy good quality equipment and better enjoy our pay-TV services.
