Product Overview

DELTA, a leading broadband and entertainment provider operating from the Netherlands, has a long history of innovation. Since announcing the move to all-digital and IPTV services in 2017, DELTA has consistently invested in improving the viewing experience for its customers.

Building on this foundation, DELTA’s next step was to modernize its television service with a new Android TV–based set-top box. The goal: to deliver a seamless, content-rich, and future-ready TV platform  that would meet today’s consumer expectations for performance, personalization and access to premium content.

To realize this, DELTA partnered once again with Amino - its trusted hardware and middleware provider - and  Stoneroos (part of NEP), its long-term front-end development partner. Together, the companies created a next-generation experience for DELTA’s customers, combining innovation, speed and reliability while maintaining the common Amino Engage management platform across all devices. This enabled Netflix and Google compliance, data collection for Agama quality monitoring and remote service management.

The Challenge: A Seamless and Certified Android TV Experience

In a competitive market where established operators and new entrants vie for customer loyalty, DELTA wanted to strengthen its position with a new  Operator Tier Android TV solution. The challenge was multifaceted:

1. Create a  DELTA branded Android TV Operator Tier Launcher  to deliver a unified, intuitive experience.
2. Secure Google certification, Netflix and Videoland integration to meet stringent compliance and performance requirements.
3. Maintain interoperability with DELTA’s existing backend (powered by  24i, an Aferian Group company).
4. Deliver within ambitious timescales of just a few months: without compromising quality or security.

Collaboration in Action: Combining Expertise Across the Ecosystem

The project was built upon years of collaboration.

• Stoneroos  developed the Android TV Operator Tier Launcher, front-end applications, Videoland integration and a Netflix compliant UI.
• Amino provided the  Amigo 7N set-top box, Android middleware and additional firmware services to ensure security, seamless integration and passwordless authentication.
• 24i  continued to support backend services for consistency across DELTA’s content ecosystem.
