ALi Corporation, a leading provider of Set-Top Box (STB) chipsets, ACCESS CO., LTD and NetRange, proudly announce a strategic collaboration that marks a significant milestone in the STB industry by integrating ACCESS™ Twine Micro Client cloud-based browser solution into ALi's RTOS STB platform, revolutionizing traditional zapper STBs by adding intelligent Video on Demand (VoD) and Over-The-Top (OTT) functionalities.

ALi Corporation's RTOS platform, in conjunction with the ACCESS and NetRange jointly developed Twine Micro Client solution, addresses a critical market need for a comprehensive browser and app solution on zapper STB platforms. This integration empowers users to access a diverse array of online content and services directly through their STBs, delivering an immersive and enriched viewing experience. The collaboration between ALi, ACCESS and NetRange is poised to unlock numerous business development opportunities. With ALi's unparalleled reach in the STB market, selling 40 million STB SoCs globally, and ACCESS and NetRange's advanced technology and content offerings, operators can now enhance their service portfolios and stay competitive in an ever-evolving market landscape.

Cashew Chen, President of ALi Corporation, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating: "This partnership enables us to offer our clients an expanded range of content options and upgraded features for zapper STBs. By enriching the viewing experience of end-users, ACCESS and NetRange enables us to provide our clients with a significant competitive advantage in the market."

Kiyo Oishi, CEO, ACCESS CO., LTD , commented: "ALi's capability to provide their clients with more content and upgraded Zapper STB features without upgrading the STB’s hardware is incredibly exciting. This collaboration not only benefits from ALi's extensive coverage and advanced technology but also opens new avenues for ACCESS and NetRange to reach additional populations of STBs. For instance, in regions like LATAM, SEA, and Africa, where traditional STBs still dominate, our solution can provide a transformative experience to end-users."

Through this collaboration, ALi Corporation, ACCESS and NetRange are poised to drive innovation and growth in the STB industry, catering to the evolving needs of operators and end-users alike.
