After much anticipation, Gibtelecom announced today the launch of Sofi – its digital entertainment service. Gibtelecom’s Chief Executive Officer, Tim Bristow, explained how “Sofi provides an all-round entertainment experience for the Rock. With over 60 channels licensed directly from the studios, easy access on-demand entertainment and support via a dedicated TV support helpline.”

Gibtelecom has partnered with Netgem, a leader in TV and entertainment innovation for over 20 years, to develop the Sofi digital entertainment platform. Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director Netgem UK said “We are pleased to partner with a leading operator like Gibtelecom to deliver the best entertainment experience to its customers. We are excited to bring the distribution of our open entertainment products to the territory of Gibraltar, both on the traditional Set Top Box and through our acclaimed SoundBox”.  (...)

Sofi will be available on home TV’s, using a powerful and advanced set top box with a simple and interactive user interface (UI). The UI provides live windows that enable instant and easy viewing of the TV guide, live content and on demand services, and facilitates features such as catch-up and replay as well as customised favourites. You can also view some of the linear channels included in the Sofi package on your mobile or tablet, via the Sofi app, anywhere in Gibraltar. This also has interactive features including a smart remote and flick and fetch features, which lets you continue watching programmes you were watching on the TV on your mobile device and vice versa. 

The service will be available to Gibtelecom’s residential broadband customers and will be included as part of the Company’s flagship Monster Bundle product – which currently includes up to 100Mbps home broadband and a mobile plan with 10GB of data, 1000 minutes and 1000 SMS which can be used in Gibraltar or throughout the European Economic Area for only £55 per month. Gibtelecom residential broadband customers who do not wish to subscribe to the Monster Bundle will be able to subscribe to Sofi from only £10 a month. Discounted packages are available for old age pensioners. As part of a launch promotion, customers will not pay any installation fees if applying before 1 July and the first 300 Monster Bundle customers to apply will be eligible to apply for a premium Soundbar version of the TV box as well as receiving a Gibtelecom Monster plush toy whilst stocks last.

Connected audio: OTT Trojan (Soundbox, Amazon, Alexa, Netgem, Voice assistant)

Netgem, presentation SFAF - annual accounts 2017

Connected audio, OTT Trojan

• With the Netgem Soundbox brings a new dimension "TV, video and audio quality" in the market for voice assistants.
• This equipment will eventually be the heart of the "smart home" replacing and expanding the role of the current "box" in IPTV.
• Its distribution, thanks to the OTT model, is no longer limited to broadband operators, and for sale coupled with access Internet.
• 1st Soundbox Marketing Live Branded Netgem on Amazon UK scheduled S1'2018

OTT: Netgem growth model for the coming years?

• Expand the distribution of our digital entertainment services, by ourselves and in partnership with our distributors / partners, benefiting from the development of OTT cards, and more particularly the following opportunities: ○ Mobile bundles + content bundles  ○ Equipment + content offers.
• Use the technological breakthrough represented by the DVA (digital vocal assistant) which installs a new generation of equipment (voice speakers connected) in homes that we believe futures will replace the current role of "box" operators of 1st generation: Project Soundbox.
• These new offers will be rolled out gradually in Europe in 2018.

Soundbox goes beyond Roku (2018, Voxtok by Netgem)

(February 9, 2018)

"The Voxtok by Netgem Soundbox goes beyond the functionality of the Roku powered soundbars as it also offers a video streaming device. Connect your TV and you'll be able to access music services like Napster and Deezer, as well as streaming video apps like Amazon Video, YouTube and Netflix.

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)."

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."
