Netgem and Voxtok worked hand-in-hand to bring together a TV set-top box and a sound bar in one piece. Netgem is indeed a set-top box builder for access and service providers. Voxtok is specialized in sound as we have already seen.

TO REMENBER: 

"You can now (17 AUGUST 2017), control EE TV set-top boxes with Amazon Alexa voice commands !!!"

(Netgem & EE TV continuous in a solid partnership!)

"Whether it's for phones or Bluetooth speakers, Amazon's march towards squeezing its Alexa voice assistant into every conceivable connected gadget continues apace. The latest device to join its ranks is EE TV, the set-top box from the mobile network giant.

From today, owners of both the EE TV box and a compatible Alexa device, such as the Echo or Echo Dot, will be able to use voice commands sent from the connected speakers to control certain aspects of the TV interface...."

"The move makes the BT-owned outfit the first UK service provider to provide an Amazon Alexa skillset on its set-top boxes."

ZTE on Rostelecom Upgrade Project (2018)! (& netgem?)

(February 12, 2018)

ZTE Wins Bulk of Rostelecom Access Network Upgrade Project

"(...)

With ZTE's Multi-Service Access Network (MSAN) product that adopts technologies such as VDSL, Rostelecom aims to build the first stage of the project. 

The second stage will implement such high-speed technologies as G.vectoring and G.fast. The solutions for the second stage are now under tests in Rostelecom.

As new services based on the IP Internet grow rapidly, users have increasingly high demands for high-speed Web access. Rostelecom, the largest fixed network operator in Russia, urgently needs an integrated access platform that both inherits traditional services and provides high-speed broadband services. The platform improves speeds of the existing copper network and supports high-bandwidth for the new services, including 4K/8K video and potentially AR/VR.

Voxtok plans to eventually sell a high-end version of the Soundbox directly to consumers, but the first units will be labeled in white label and distributed by television operators.

A first "customer" is already registered and will start shipping Soundboxes to its customers this quarter (Q1 2018)."

The first smart sound bar @ CES 2018 (Netgem / Amazon Alexa / Voxtok)

 SoundBox is the first smart sound bar,  Best of Music, Audio & TV!

"Voxtok Music enhances the listener's music experience with its openness to all music sources (such as streaming, files, radio, and podcasts), gathering related content that includes music videos, concert streaming and ticketing, and music listening to build an entirely new experience. 

SoundBox is a smart soundbar, a breakthrough product merging TV, video, and music services and content, including vinyl! Fully integrated with Voxtok Music, this compact multi-room device integrates advanced TV and video capabilities, with features such as wireless connectivity, multi-screen apps, and support for Alexa voice control. SoundBox recognizes the vinyl record you are currently playing and provides additional content and services related to the album or artist. 

Napster recently integrated its music catalog and rich metadata for over 40 million titles in to the Voxtok environment, creating an enhanced experience and seamless integration of all Voxtok Music features. Service-content features are “cross-contextualized”, meaning that they are linked to other content if they share common ground, regardless of the source."
