Netia is Poland's largest alternative fixed-line telecommunications operator, in a telecom market that was previously operated as a monopoly and just opened to competition. In Poland, mobile penetration is higher than 120% and value added services are growing at a high double digit rate. Netia has built its strategy on developing its user base of fixed broadband households and has now become the most significant competitor to the incumbent operator.

Netia has started in November 2011 rolling out its new TV service based on Netgem’s technologies.

Netia is bundling subscriptions offering high-speed broadband access with unlimited calls and now, using Netgem services, the Polish operator launches the third component of its triple play offering. This new television service launches ahead of the UEFA European Football Champions League 2012.

Netgem provides Netia with its middleware and hybrid DTT/Internet Set-top boxes. Netia’s subscribers have access to a complete and attractive TV package, based on state of the art solutions that blend managed services, with over-the-top web technologies and premium broadcast content.

Netgem’s fast and very intuitive middleware User Interface, together with the delivery of an innovative remote application for connected home devices, such as smartphones and tablets, offer Netia’s subscribers a comprehensive TV experience. In addition end-users have rapid and easy access from the Home menu to their favourite HBO TV series and premium movies, when they subscribe to the HBO internet streaming service, HBO GO.
