SmartLabs Develops Client Applications On Whale OS

SmartLabs has successfully developed its client applications on Whale OS in a collaboration with Philips Smart TVs for one of its telecoms customers in Russia.

SmartLabs CEO, Mikhail Grachev, said: "As a leading provider of multi-screen, multi-network solutions for the video streaming market, we are a trusted partner for interactive TV operators, telcos and media companies worldwide. We already support Android TV, Tizen, Web OS and VIDAA and with the addition of Whale OS, the list just keeps growing.

"Being able to launch applications developed on the Whale OS platform means we can drastically expand our global reach and increase the delivery of high-quality content to even more smart TV models. We look forward to many more video viewers enjoying best-in-class content brought to their smart TV devices by SmartLabs."

According to business consulting firm Grand View Research, the global smart TV market is expected to surpass US$ 436.2 billion by 2028. While this is great news for the industry, the integration with smart TVs does come with some challenges for operators. For instance, applications regularly need updating and there can be issues around digital rights management and security.

SmartLabs' cutting-edge technology ensures applications are secure, easy to use and stable. The interface has a modern feel and looks stylish, as well as being agile and fully functional, providing the sort of premium experience that today’s consumers expect. The quality of the offering, coupled with the company’s dedication to customers, means that SmartLabs is chosen time and again.

In addition to Philips smart TVs, Whale OS is also used by the likes of TCL and Haier, and those additional manufacturers are expected to be supported by SmartLabs from Q1 2022. And while Russia is the starting point for the Whale OS launch, there are also plans for it to be rolled out worldwide next year.

Whale OS, part of Whale Eco, is a revolutionary operating system for many of the world’s most recognisable smart TV brands including Philips, TCL, Haier, AOC, Sharp, BenQ, Amazon, Google and Huawei to name a few. Combining powerful IT cloud services, innovative SaaS tools and smart connected devices, Whale OS brings unparalleled user experiences to audiences across the globe.
