A reference deployment for Netgem TV-as-a-service solution for the growing
Middle-Eastern market

LONDON, UK - 28th March 2017 - Netgem, the leading entertainment solution
provider for telecom operators, has been selected by international telecoms
operator Ooredoo to deploy its award-winning multi-screen TV-as-a-service

its solution now available in Arabic and supported by local content providers
and deployment partners. Oman is one of the four new markets that Netgem
announced its entry to on 12th January, 2017.

TV-as-a-Service will provide an opportunity for Ooredoo Oman to enhance its
fixed and mobile offering by providing a fully connected TV solution to its
customers that delivers a unified experience across devices

Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director Netgem #TelcoTV Services, " We are very
proud to support the launch of Ooredoo Oman TV with our feature-rich TV product
offering a great range of international and local content. This is the first
deployment of our TV-as-a-Service solution in the Middle-East, and reinforces

powerful entertainment services. With our award-winning user interface now
adapted to support mixed Arabic and European content, we are looking forward to
further deployments in the region.''

unveil Ooredoo TV, which is powered by Netgem, and give consumers in Oman a
