Other components are also available related to Voice Asssitant and Multiprofile management...

With its unique range of TV Professional Services, Wyplay will customize and integrate with the operator’s platform and/or content provider’s head-end. SmarDTV Global acts then as the Prime Contractor, bringing a complete AndroidTV STB solution to the operator and managing directly the partners, including Wyplay for customization and deployments.
