Comcast Technology Solutions, a division of Comcast Cable that provides media and entertainment technology to content providers, operators, and advertisers, has announced that its Cloud TV Suite serves the back-end platform for OSN’s video entertainment service, OSN Streaming App. The app provides a multi-screen video entertainment experience to consumers across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The OSN Streaming App is a direct-to-consumer, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service, powered by Comcast Technology Solutions, that enables viewers to watch shows across connected TVs, computers, smartphones, and tablets.

Our OSN Streaming App brings together a collection of unrivalled shows, movies, and exclusive original productions content, across all the countries we serve. To make that possible, we selected Comcast Technology Solutions for their end-to-end Cloud TV Suite to support us, and centralise, manage, and deliver our service at scale. Comcast Technology Solutions provides us the ability to continually refresh, secure, and deliver our content, in multiple languages, on the screen of choice for our subscribers.”

We are very proud that we can provide a comprehensive solution that enables OSN to deliver a world-class entertainment experience today and for years to come. Our commitment is to help alleviate complexity behind the scenes and to enable innovative services while accelerating critical time to market as we did for OSN. Our close partnership drove a commercial launch in less than six months, which speaks volumes of the power of the technology and collaboration.”
