Africell to launch OTT TV services to broadband and mobile subscribers using Perception TVCDN

Africell to launch 4 OTT TV services to mobile subscribers in 4 countries


Perception TVCDN uses its private CDN service to deliver all 4 services


Africell selected Perception CDN to build its OTT TV infrastructure for its telecom operations in Sierra Leone, The Gambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. The Company announced that this will be configured as a private CDN platform enabling customised TV service offerings in each country. Subscribers will be able to access a range of popular local and international TV channels on their smart phone with 7 days of catch-up TV built in, to ensure they can watch what they want when they want.


When complete, the four OTT services will span West, Central and East Africa, seamlessly connected via Perception TVCDN’s private CDN infrastructure.


John Mills, Perception CDN CEO, said: “Using our fully integrated TVCDN service, Africell will minimise the cost of content distribution throughout all four countries. We very much look forward to working with Africell, delivering a unique and exciting OTT service to its broadband and mobile subscribers.”


Ziad Dalloul, Africell Chairman and CEO, said: “Africell gives people the freedom of connection. This is made possible through solid partnerships and use of the best available tools and platforms. Africell’s exciting new partnership to have the OTT TV will enable customers to watch their favourite local and international TV channels on demand and at affordable rates.”

Perception TVCDN, the first unified multiscreen TV platform is enhanced with its latest next-gen customer registration and billing module  


Perception releases its first stage registration and billing module


Targeting customers who want access to branded TV with registration and billing pre-integrated


Ideal for the “Perception as a Service” customers


London 1st May 2018 – Perception, The TV CDN today announced its latest development module designed to offer users a web based customer registration and billing environment that has been pre-integrated into the Perception platform.


This latest development provides benefit to two key market sectors Perception is targeting.


The first being its PaaS clients who may not have either the expertise or the time to provide integrated customer registration and billing services for TV PPV and / or subscription payments.


The second provides a more complete platform for DTC client installations globally as payment can be transacted anywhere.


Perceptions fully integrated platform offers clients a full multiscreen software suite with CDN functionality and its advanced live TV features such as “instant rewind from live” still wowing those used to a more static delivery of live TV.


John Mills, Perceptions CEO said, we are really excited about our registration and billing module addition as it expands our potential market enormously. Its not technically exciting but still a key component when targeting those who want a branded TV service but don't want the cost of the hardware, they just want a service. This module enables a client to upload their content, release our branded app, market the service and collect the cash, with no build requirements.
