Charter Communications’ Spectrum Enterprises unit today announced a new product portfolio targeted to the hotel, hospital and university markets.
Each of the new platforms expands availability of HD channels, Charter said, as well compatibility with devices.
The new offerings include Fiber Connect Plus TV, which delivers HDTV over fiber without a converter box or headend equipment as part of a third-party integrator solution.
Meanwhile, Set-Back Box TV is targeted to hotels and hospitals, delivering video signals over coax to slim “set-back” boxes that are mounted behind televisions. The platform, which enables customized channel insertion and branding opportunities, features an interactive program guide, the ability to pause live TV and a library over more than 7,000 hours of on-demand content.
Finally, SpectrumU TV is a video streaming service that delivers live TV, with local channels, regional sports networks, an on-demand content library and an interactive program guide to the university market. It’s available to deploy on campuses via wired and wireless networks, with students tapping in via iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as laptops and desktops.
