The HbbTV initiative was launched in August 2009 to provide an open
platform
for hybrid services based on Web technologies. INTEK Digital will
benefit
from ANT's strong experience of the initiative. As a founding member
of the
group, ANT has played an active role in taking the specification to
market.
The ANT Galio HbbTV Platform is the first solution to be
commercially
deployed, with a launch into the German retail market in 2009. With
a
reputation of developing and deploying high quality, innovative
set-top
boxes, INTEK Digital is well positioned to target the fast growing
HbbTV
market.
Simon Woodward, President and CEO of ANT, said: “Operators and
broadcasters
continue to add new HbbTV services, receiving an extremely positive
consumer
response since their launch in December 2009. We've worked closely
with
INTEK Digital to support them in the development of their HbbTV
solution
which we're delighted to see showcased at the ANGA Cable Show in
Cologne
this week.”

ourselves on
delivering an exceptional consumer experience and we’re pleased to
be
