The client: WNESS TV

 

WNESS TV is about a healthy lifestyle – yoga, fitness, wellness, and beauty. It aims to make people more inspired and happier. The target group is middle and upper-income people, who devote love and care to themselves, understanding the need for a healthy lifestyle (in Central & Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa), who work out and prefer a healthy diet.

The Challenges

The Challenges

Buying all the professional equipment needed to set up the channel was beyond the client's budget.
Sysadmins to install and support the system on a 24/7 basis.
A further problem was getting the software for EPG creation and AD insertion. So was the lack of channel distribution.
A start-up operation like WNESS does not have the facilities of big players like the BBC and the Discovery Channel - studios, playout centres, technicians, satellite feeds.

The Solution

The Solution

Neterra offered WNESS playout equipment on a rental basis and 24/7 support from the Video Services Operations Center (VSOC). The software for EPG creation, Ad insertion, was included in the deal.

For the channel distribution, instead of a satellite feed, the Europe-wide NetIX network was used. This solution granted them coverage in Europe and parts of the Middle East at affordable prices.

The Results

The WNESS TV sevice was launched in 3 months and within budget. The VSOC as a service ensures uninterruptable operation 24/7 and adresses all challenges originating from the system’s upgrades to deliver superior quality of TV content.
