Binge smart TV service launches in Estonia on Netgem Diamond entertainment
software suite

London, UK - 6th September 2017 - Netgem, the leading connected entertainment
solution provider for telecom operators, has been selected by Finnish telecoms
operator Elisa to deploy its award-winning Diamond entertainment software suite
in Estonia. The new service, Binge TV, will enable Elisa mobile operations to
benefit from Netgem's range of Virtual STB features in order to extend their
reach to a new audience segment of TV customers in Estonia.

The Netgem-powered service will enable the Binge TV service to provision
customers with a range of new TV services, including an integrated user
interface that seamlessly surfaces content into one place, from across an
optimal range of local and international linear channels, powerful 7-day
catch-up, or even integrating OTT services such as YouTube and Netflix. Binge
TV also incorporates a network PVR (nPVR) that offers access to thousands of
hours of on demand programming across a multiscreen environment inside and
outside the home, with a recommendation engine based on the most popular
programmes.

The market leader in telecoms in Finland, Elisa provides services to 2.3
million consumer, corporate and public administration customers. Building on an
existing successful partnership, Elisa, who's IPTV platform in its home market
has been very successful, has chosen Netgem's virtual STB cloud solution to
support its deployment of Binge TV and help it reach a growing audience within
Estonia. The Netgem solution also integrates the Binge TV mobile app, which
provides direct access to live and catch-up services across all available
channels.

Einari Karneva, Head of Binge Business at Elisa said: "As we expand into new
countries, we want to provide consumers with the best TV experience possible,
and a flexible way to grow the service once launched. By deploying Binge TV, we
can reach a growing population who want access to their TV content wherever
they are, and Netgem's platform gives us a unique flexibility to add more
content and features over time."

Commenting on the announcement, Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director at Netgem,
said: "Consumer behaviour is changing, and operators need rapidly deployable
and dynamic solutions that will enable them to maintain a competitive edge.
This deployment of Binge TV using Netgem's Diamond entertainment software suite
enables Elisa to reach new audience segments as it extends into a new market,
offering a full suite of live, on demand and quality OTT content based on an
award-winning cloud-based platform from day one."

Following on from the announcement of its first customers in the Middle East
and Germany, Estonia is the third new television market Netgem is entering in
2017.
