“As the TV experience evolves, so does GVTC,” said Josh Pettiette, Vice President, Product Business Development and Strategic Planning, GVTC. “In the 1980s, we built the infrastructure for cable TV, then high-speed internet in the ’90s, and then Netflix’s #1 ranked Fiber Internet in the 2000s. EspialTV allows us to provide the next step in this journey with its hosted IPTV platform.”

“We are gratified that GVTC selected Enghouse’s EspialTV for this project, based on our track record of delivering outstanding television experiences,” said Mick McCluskey, Vice President, Product Management, Enghouse Networks. “Enghouse is renowned for being flexible in meeting operators’ needs. Our operations and deployment team has a unique skill set and thorough understanding of the video streaming environment that will aid us in providing GVTC with a market-leading and highly flexible TV solution.”

The Enghouse SaaS EspialTV platform offers GVTC a full set of content management capabilities, deep insight through analytics, and flexibility to easily segment and target various markets. It supports operators of all sizes — and its flexible, cloud-based architecture will allow GVTC to control operational costs as their TV customer base grows.
