Epic Cyprus selects Zattoo TV platform

BERLIN/ZÜRICH — Zattoo, one of Europe’s leading TV-as-a-Service platforms, will migrate the existing TV service offering of Epic Cyprus, one of the largest telecommunication providers in the country to its successful ecosystem. This underlines Zattoo’s international expansion and the owning Monaco Telecom / NJJ group’s ambition to become a multi service customer-centric provider with Zattoo’s award winning solution. Epic Cyprus’ customers will be able to access the company’s offering via Android Mobile, IoS, Android TV and Web with Samsung TV and LG to follow shortly after.

Using the Zattoo TV Platform, Epic Cyprus will replace an existing TV product that will be fully migrated to the Zattoo TV platform by mid-2024. This will be setting to continue growing Epic Cyprus’ business and providing key elements of a carrier-grade TV experience, while also expanding Zattoo’s language portfolio. With this move, Epic Cyprus will offer a set of white label apps under its own successful brand in a multi-device environment, in which Zattoo will not only host and manage the new TV service but also make it available on mobile, web, and a customer-branded Android TV for Operators set-top box. The contract duration will be five years.

In addition to offering more choice at better value for customers, Zattoo’s TV service includes add-on features such as replay, a seven-day catch-up, up to 100 hours of recording at no extra cost, and HD streaming. The service also comes with a simple user interface that is easy to access, use and watch, with channels grouped in categories, making the search for content as smooth and fast as possible.

“Our collaboration with Epic Cyprus expands our TV-as-a-Service business across Europe with local operators and Internet service providers that see the strategic growth potential in a TV offering” says Jörg Meyer, Chief Commercial Officer at Zattoo. “We are particularly happy to welcome Epic Cyprus, as already the fifth member of the Monaco Telecom / NJJ Group, on our TV platform. Being given the opportunity to enable such strong players around the subscriber experience that TV is today, and doing so from the start across such a wide range of services, proves our strategy around a long-established and successful white-label end-to-end offering.”
