Infomir

KEY TO SUCCESS OF YOUR IPTV BUSINESS

Telecommunication technologies evolve in the blink of an eye. That is why companies in the industry should stay vigilant and flexible in order to succeed. This approach has helped Infomir to ride the crest of the wave for more than 15 years. Its main products, the MAG set-top boxes, have spread all over the world and become a foundation for more than 3000 successful projects.

Since analogue TV with its small content range became insufficient for a regular family evening, telecoms started offering different options in order to revive this family tradition. IPTV, OTT and VoD standards gained their popularity due to connection with the widest content source – the Internet. It was the beginning of a new industry and a historical start to Infomir’s success.

Starting as a telephone exchange system manufacturer, Infomir cooperated with the biggest Ukrainian state and private telecom companies. The manufacturing facility Teletec was established in Odessa, Ukraine. Its production line was designed by TE Connectivity (also known as Tyco Electronics) which helped to unite the world’s leading equipment into one chain. All these factors allowed the company not only to produce up-to-date electronics, but also to provide benefits such as reasonable pricing and fast delivery.

With changing trends, the traditional telephone exchange systems started giving way to automatic ones. In 2006 this wind of change opened a new door for Infomir. The company started producing MAG set-top boxes (STB) which became a profitable solution for many IPTV/OTT projects.

Infomir’s headquarters and manufacturing facility are located in Odessa, Ukraine. The facility includes R&D and broadband network laboratories. MAG set-top boxes are also tested by in-house ISP which helps to find technologies that are really in demand. One of the results of such researches is the Stalker Multiscreen, a system that allows subscribers to watch content from one STB on different screens.

Each of them is designed to satisfy the particular needs of operators with different aims, location and capacity.
