COOCAA using ACCESS NetRange APIs to deliver diverse content worldwide
ACCESS Europe, a global provider of smart TV, over-the-top (OTT), and in-vehicle entertainment ecosystems, and COOCAA, a subsidiary of Skyworth and developer of the COOLITA operating system, have announced a strategic partnership to expand the global content offerings of COOLITA-powered smart TVs.
By integrating ACCESS’ NetRange TV Store APIs, COOCAA will access a vast library of over 400 apps and 450 free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels. This collaboration will enable COOCAA to deliver a more diverse and engaging content experience to its users in over 80 countries and regions.
Samuel Lin, Head of Business Development & Partnerships, COOCAA, “The advantage of integrating NetRange APIs from ACCESS is that it provides solutions to source smart TV apps, FAST channels, and the technical certification clearances to providing a global content experience for COOLITA-powered devices. The breadth of the NetRange content offerings enables us to gain worldwide market traction for our COOLITA smart TV OS.”
ACCESS will provide COOCAA various services to streamline its content integration and management processes. These services include the NetRange TV Store API for app integration, the NetRange FAST Hub API for access to a vast library of FAST channels, metadata for content recommendation to enhance user experience, advanced advertising solutions for ad integration, and comprehensive video-on-demand (VoD) digital rights management (DRM) certification management to streamline global content distribution.
Michi Uemetsu, CTO of ACCESS, concluded, “Our NetRange APIs enable COOCAA to save significant time and resources in securing agreements with multiple content providers by utilising its fully licensed content services, flexible product delivery methods, and VoD DRM certification, which can be highly complex for OEMs that haven’t carried this out on a global scale.”
