Ateme virtualises the entire headend of the OTT MyTV service

The OTT MyTV, a subsidiary of VNPT (Vietnam’s second largest telecommunications operator), has decided to rely on the Ateme solutions to virtualise its entire headend.

To achieve this goal, defined as the first step towards the complete migration of the MyTV OTT platform to a private cloud, Ateme used its Titan software suite, consisting of multiscreen linear encoders Und linear multiplexers with encoding capabilities.

Der virtualised headend provided by Ateme, based on containerised software orchestrated by kubernetes, is comprised of future-proof technologies, such as CMAF standard for low-latency enablement, SDI over IP Und dynamic ad insertion capabilities for better monetisation with targeted advertising.

Nguyen Duc Long, sales director at Ateme, explains how this project can serve as an example for other platforms: “To meet the challenges of an expanding subscriber base, it’s important to have a robust and scalable platform. Moving to the cloud ensures this – while also reducing capital expenditure. We are thrilled to have been able to accompany MyTV in this first step of its migration to the cloud, helping it deliver captivating video experiences with a headend that is 100% cloud-based.”

Andererseits, Nguyen Hong Phong, TV Centre Manager at MyTV, considers the project a success: “Thanks to the cloud-based solutions offered by Ateme, along with the team’s support and flexibility, we were able to start moving our OTT platform to a private cloud, which will allow us to deliver more content to more devices in a more affordable way.”
