ExCel, London – TVConnect, April 26, 2016. Minerva Networks, a leading provider of software solutions for connected entertainment, announced today that Swiss-based netplus has selected the Company’s service management platform to power their next generation pay TV services.  Using Minerva’s flexible Back Office and open API’s, netplus will be able to offer advanced services to new customers as well as to their existing netplus TV subscribers.

netplus has worked with Minerva to integrate their custom set-top box client with Minerva’s Back Office via web services API’s.  netplus will now be able to manage their pay TV services through a single back-office platform while quickly introducing new features, such as cloud DVR, to further enhance their offering.

netplus offers residential and business services to over 100 cities in French speaking Valais, Vaud, and Fribourg. The netplus TV offering, currently serving 40,000 subscribers, is part of a triple-play bundle that includes high-speed Internet and telephony services. netplus is planning to expand its market penetration with new innovative service offerings
