As a temporary data center, we have chosen the German Hetzner: it is located close to the region of content distribution and provides servers suitable for the Telebreeze Platform.
After renting the servers, we installed the Telebreeze Platform, uploaded content, added video applications, including LG SmartTV and AndroidTV.
The next step was to add video players for Samsung SmartTV, add one sub-operator, integrating a local payment system, and license for 10.000 users in the system.

The third stage is under implementation: connecting two more sub-operators, moving to a new CDN, since now the speed of content delivery through the data center is limited, adding licenses for 100.000 users, adding a new subtype of administrators in the system – content owners.
Result
The platform operates normally: we installed a complete solution, launched a system with the main operator and three sub-operators. The platform streams religious and educational content for more than 30.000 users.
New Africa Medias has an important social mission to provide free content for poor residents in Africa.
In the future, the company plans to connect a large number of content owners, move to a new CDN, grow to 1.000.000 users, and enter the interactive TV market of neighboring countries.
