Ericsson has signed an exclusive, multi-year feature film deal with 20th Century Fox Television Distribution, for its subscription video on demand (VOD) service, Nuvu. Titles include DreamWorks Animation feature films and an exclusive second pay output deal that covers territories across sub-Saharan Africa and multiple languages.
Nuvu is a complete end-to-end subscription VOD service developed by Ericsson for mobile operators in emerging markets. It leverages the company’s capabilities based on Ericsson Managed Player and components of Ericsson MediaFirst TV Platform, Ericsson’s highly scalable modular technology platforms used by broadcasters and telecom service providers to distribute video content efficiently to connected devices. Through this partnership, Nuvu subscribers will have access to some of Hollywood’s latest films as part of their package, localized on a market-by-market basis.
For a monthly fee, Nuvu subscribers have unlimited access to an initial 3,000 local and international premium titles across a wide variety of genres including Hollywood and Nollywood movies, TV series, kids, music, gospel and education. The built-in ability to distribute content to consumers during off-peak periods is a core feature of the service.
