A move that marked a new era saw ANT Plc's Galio HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) Platform work with Kathrein, as the ANT was granted with license.

This deal will aid in releasing HbbTV services on a completely new platform of set-top boxes for a global portfolio. Thus, making ANT Galio HbbTV Platform a pioneer in HbbTV solution distribution. It helps both service providers and device makers to develop and deploy HbbTV related applications for hybrid broadcast TV services to the home.

In the light of the same matter Simon Woodward, President and CEO of ANT expressed his joy and stated that working with Kathrein will only yield in further steadfastness of industry reputation that will ultimately lead in delivering high quality, reliable products.

He finally corroborated, "As the first and only company to take a complete integrated HbbTV product to market we continue to license our software to the world's leading device manufacturers."
