| Post-merger STB consolidation | |
| The Problem | A new Pay TV operation was formed through the merger of two existing players, leaving 600K legacy STBs in the field with different software on multiple hardware variants. |
|---|---|
| S3 Group's Client | A leading Pay TV Satellite operator. |
| The Solution | S3 Group was contracted to develop common driver software for all platforms, to integrate, test and certify all platforms in preparation for an over-the-air download to bring all the boxes to a common software platform branded as the platform for launch of the new operator service. |
| The Outcome | All products were successfully upgraded within a very tight timeframe dictated by the business case which was driven by the start of the football season. S3 Group continued a multi-year relationship with the operator to maintain the products in the field following product launch, thus adopting the role of the OEM for the operator. |
