Taipei – September 07, 2015 – Today ADB and ALi announce a strategic partnership. ADB is expanding its partner network with the addition of ALi Corporation, the leading set-top box (STB) chipset provider. The partnership, which will see ADB’s Personal TV solution pre-integrated into ALi’s platform, will enable service providers and STB makers to tap into ADB and ALi technologies and deliver first-class, compelling TV experiences.

ALi is a leading innovator and developer in the STB system-on-chip (SoC) markets.

“ADB is a leading provider of TV solutions and we are thrilled to have their first class technology ported on ALi’s reference platform.

ADB's Personal TV solution is an innovative and feature rich end-to-end offering that enables operators and service providers to meet the challenges of evolving media consumption and consumer behavior by delivering video and other contents seamlessly to pay-TV platforms and OTT deployments.
