Oooredoo customers gain access to more apps with addition of Metrological Application Platform

Qatar-based communications company Ooredoo, which serves residential and business customers throughout the nation, recently chose the Metrological Application Platform, a suite of services to launch, personalize and manage branded television apps, as its means of managing the Mozaic TV app store.

Ooredoo customers will see the company's branded TV app, which provides Qatar-based Arabic and Asian satellite package options on their next-generation set-top boxes (STBs). The new platform will also offer customers catch-up and on-demand television choices -- together on one platform.

"We pride ourselves on offering innovative features and world-class entertainment packages that give our customers access to all of their content in one place," Ooredoo CEO Waleed Al Sayed said. "Ooredoo continues to deploy cutting-edge cloud solutions to deliver smart services for the people of Qatar, and this agreement with Metrological provides us with the flexibility to customize the portfolio of apps on offer, deliver an enhanced customer experience and gives us the scalability to continue to expand the digital universe of apps offered on Mozaic TV."

With the new platform, Ooredoo's customers will have access to more than 250 premium apps.

"We are pleased to provide Ooredoo with our cloud-based Application Platform, which will enable them to offer content that reflects the unique personal interests of its subscriber base," Metrological CEO Jeroen Ghijsen said. "Metrological brings the app experience front and center with apps acting as a content feed to the main TV viewing experience."
