Transforming the IPTV market
Zignal Cloud promises to transform the market for IPTV solutions. Not only does it untangle legacy complexities associated with building service providers, it also simplifies the operation going forward. One of the most important aspects of Zignal Cloud is the pay-as-you-grow model. This allows service providers to scale their operation when needed through on-line license acquisition.
Industria’s aim is to lower the barriers to entry for new players and ease the transition of existing operators. This initiative is based on the experience Industria has acquired in the IPTV market, where aggressive service providers are increasingly looking to outsource parts of their service infrastructure and focus more on the customer experience and content.
Offering Infrastructure as a Service is a necessary step for the industry to ensure enough breadth in the service offerings, both in terms of price and service. Zignal is an ideal candidate to take the first step.

The offering

Service providers have an opportunity to utilize Industria’s experience and pioneering technology platform to remove the effort involved with the installation of complex software solutions - with no upfront cost.

Reduced time to market
IPTV, like any other business, aims to increase revenues and minimize costs. Through Zignal Cloud, service providers immediately gain access to a host of new services, pre-integrated with the system. This means that new revenue generating services are available for deployment from first date of subscription. Zignal Cloud also includes several widgets, running information services that users can dynamically deploy according to their liking.

The requirement for standards compliancy enables Industria, or third party service providers, to integrate with new STBs quickly and efficiently. The integration process is readily available on the Industria website. The Zignal client provides uncontended user experience. The small-footprint needed ensures that even slow SBTs can gain new life, with tests showing the response time to interactive service commands reduced to approximately an eigth of the previous response times.
Feature support
Industria is building a community for developers, to ensure that those willing to develop solutions for IPTV can do so easily and deploy them to a community of users. For end-users and service providers this will increase the availability of new and pre-integrated solutions available for deployment.
