SoftAtHome is a 150-employee software development company based in France and Belgium specializing in device middleware for network and television operators. The company’s main shareholder is the French incumbent Telco Orange, others are Etisalat, the UAE incumbent that took a 16.5% share in 2009 and French device manufacturer Sagemcom. (In October 2015 ), Swiss incubent Swisscom also became a share holder joining Orange's "Club of Operators". The company’s core product is its software platform SOP (SoftAtHome Operating Platform), from which all its services are derived. The two main markets served by SoftAtHome are internet and media gateways (such as its 2013 Swisscom deployment) and IPTV set-top-box middleware market as with the company's flagship Orange deployment. During International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2013 the company claimed to have surpassed a footprint of 17 million devices across 14 countries. SoftAtHome delivers only the software component so has many partnerships with hardware manufacturers like for example with Broadpeak or AirTies to deliver Over-the-top content solutions. Other key customers include Etisalat and Boxer. ==History== SoftAtHome is a company created by Orange S.A., Thomson and Sagem in 2008. The Telecom operator had launched TV services in 2003 and was struggling with its supplier ecosystem for triple play. Vendor lock-in was a key issue so the idea was to create a lightweight middleware layer that could host user interfaces and applications on top of it and different hardware platforms below. SoftAtHome was the result. In 2009 UAE incumbent Etisalat became a shareholder and client. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SoftAtHome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
