PeerTV recently announced the Russian broadcaster Kartina has launched the Kartina IQ set top box, which was developed jointly with PeerTV. The Kartina IQ set top box is based on PeerTV’s Android based eTV system and underwent extensive consumer testing last year, with customer feedback and results exceeding Kartina’s expectations. Following this announcement, a second order was placed by another national TV broadcaster for PeerTV’s Android based OTT system.

PeerTV was one of the first companies in the market to launch an Android based set top box bringing together the advantages of the Android operating system, apps and a quick and smooth user experience to enable TV or web viewing via a single unit. The PeerTV package has been carefully designed to meet the unique needs of the OTT marketplace, delivering a flexible platform that can be customised both by the end user and by corporate buyers of the system.  PeerTV’s technology is expected to be bought by ISPs, ethnic TV service providers, content providers, cable operators, mobile operators, the hospitality sector, hospitals and academic institutions.
