Digital entertainment platform Netgem TV has this morning announced that their IPTV box and service, which is usually bundled by broadband ISPs like Brsk, TalkTalk, CommunityFibre, Wightfibre and others, has expanded its range of FAST Channels to total 250 across the UK, France, Switzerland and Gibraltar.
The set-top-boxes that Netgem provide – like the Netbox 4K (inc. HDR, bluetooth pairing, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB and Dolby Atmos sound) – tend to be similar to some of those supplied by rival video streaming companies and include an often-familiar array of premium content, apps (iPlayer, itvx, 5, UKTV play, Amazon Prime Video etc.), live TV channels (Freeview) and catch-up content.
Like a lot of those other streaming platforms, Netgem also includes support for Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) channels, which are special dedicated channels that tend to only offer content and schedules based on either a single TV show or theme.
The main development today is that Netgem has recently partnered with various new content distributors, such as Rakuten TV, Zee, Global Fan Network and others. This development expands Netgem’s offering to include a total of 250 FAST Channels.
Sylvain Thevenot, MD of Netgem Pleio, said:
“Netgem FAST Lane’s momentum continues by forging deeper ties with Rakuten TV and Banijay Rights, alongside exceptional new content from partners like Zee Entertainment, GFN, and VOD365. This proves the attractiveness of our distribution model with Telecom Operators”.
