The Android TV Custom Launcher is a white-label solution from iWedia which features STAGE – a modern User Interface (UI) with multiscreen capability for all platforms. STAGE is compliant with Google’s operator tier program, easily brandable with the aim for the fastest deployment. The solution frees STB manufacturers to develop products that can scale to the requirements of operators – from OTT to hybrid functionalities.

These are features that can support operators in driving much greater value for their customers, in order to bolster their revenues.
With the offer of the custom Android TV launcher, iWedia’s Fast Launch Program brings value to STB manufacturers as to shorten time to market for their products. Offers differ from well pre-defined set of customization capabilities, middleware abstractions, a white label version for more rapid deployment to a fully tailored version for more specific product launches. With pre-integrated and continuous support through SLAs, iWedia’s Fast Launch Program is the only way for STB OEMs and operators to efficiently scale and accelerate market deployment.
