Create a new world of services

ORTIKON ACE® MHP Platform allows the creation of enhanced-TV, on-demand, entertainment, information and communication services in cable, terrestrial and satellite TV networks. These kinds of services help the network operators to attract new subscribers, increase customer loyalty and their ARPU.

The platform includes all the tools and technologies to implement the services that drive network operators’ business today, while providing the foundation for the services that maximize their platform’s revenue potential tomorrow. It suits especially for operators, who appreciate fast time-to-market, integration with existing systems, flexible content creation with standard web authoring tools and the usage of available Internet content.

The platform can be coupled with turn-key services

• Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
• News Service
• Shopping Cart
• Pay-TV Ordering Service
• E-mail
• Photo Album
• Chat Service
• PC Game Service
• Any Third Party Services

The platform consists of three modules

The modules can deployed separately, when viewer demand evolves

• Browser enables the creation of flexible TV services. It fetches the content from the broadcast channel or through the return channel (Internet), parses the text, image and audio files and displays the service to the user


• Core extends the services created with the Browser. It makes the creation of intelligent applications possible by adding server side logics to the services, for example authentication and billing


• Object Carousel Commander is a content management system that makes managing and distributing growing number of complex content simple

Easy-to-use additional tools help the deployment

• Browser Emulator tests service functionalities in the development phase
• Publisher enables to create and publishe simple content fast
• Launcher displays the operator's service menu
• Tracker measures service usage
