A new Comviva solution enables customers in India who own an Airtel digital TV recorder, to record live television through their mobile phones. The solution replicates the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) on the mobile for Airtel digital TV customers. With this, customers can set reminders or even recommend a program to a friend, besides being able to view their current account balance.
Comviva integrated two of its products — Adagium A-Live, which is a carrier-grade, self-care solution, and WebAxn, a J2ME based client-server solution that helps deliver rich and engaging user experiences on a wide variety of handsets.
“At Airtel, we believe that the key to our brand is innovation and technology is one vital element of our innovation endeavors,” said Ajai Puri, director and CEO-DTH, Bharti Airtel. “Bring[ing] together the TV and the mobile screen, this product would be a lifestyle enabler that will significantly change TV viewing trends in India. The solution developed by Comviva is operator-agnostic and can be accessed on over 225 popular Java, GPRS enabled devices. Comviva’s expertise in delivering carrier grade solutions helped Airtel digital TV create a clear differentiator in the personal video recorder (PVR) category in a very short time.”
