             ALBTELECOM CHOOSES ANEVIA TO LAUNCH NEW IPTV SERVICES

Anevia, a leading provider of OTT and IPTV software solutions, has supported
the launch of new IPTV services for Albanian telecommunications operator
ALBtelecom, following subscriber demand for more flexible viewing options.
ALBtelecom is now using Anevia's TV and video delivery software to provide live
and non-linear content in broadcast quality and to multiple screens.

ALBtelecom is Albania's largest telecommunications provider offering the most
complete range of telecommunication services in Albania and covering almost all
of the country's population  and territory. Working with Anevia and system
integrator Minerva, ALBtelecom was able to roll out its new multiscreen IPTV
offer to all of its subscribers within three months.

ALBtelecom carries the most popular TV channels in Albania from both the
DigitAlb and Tring TV platforms. The operator selected Anevia's Cloud DVR and
CDN solutions, NEA-DVR and NEA-CDN, to provide its viewers with a selection of
modern viewing options, including the possibility to record programs and save
them for up to 30 days, three days of catch-up TV services and a two hour
time-shift frame. Subscribers can view their shows and recorded content on
their TV through a set-top box, or on mobile devices such as smart phones and
tablets.

As Albania's incumbent operator, ALBtelecom is very conscious of the importance
of supplying a consistent, always-available service, so the company opted for
Anevia's dual-site architecture to guarantee service availability in the case
of technical issues such as power outages. High availability is a feature of
NEA-DVR that distributes the load between ALBtelecom's two sites, which also
optimizes bandwidth usage and network traffic.

ALBtelecom stated that they were convinced that Anevia's products would offer
subscribers the best possible experience, while providing ALBtelecom with a
modern, futureproof and secure solution. They also expressed their pleasure
with the results they've been able to deliver to subscribers so far.

"We are delighted to be chosen by Albania's main telecoms provider to support
its growth in IPTV services, and this project fits perfectly with Anevia's
continued expansion into new territories. We were also pleased to work again
with Minerva, as Anevia products integrate very successfully on Minerva
platforms," said Damien Lucas, CTO of Anevia.
