Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has joined forces with Skypro, a leading IPTV service provider, to redefine digital entertainment for customers across India. This partnership integrates high-speed broadband with advanced IPTV services, creating an immersive television and internet experience.
BSNL users can now access Skypro's innovative IPTV services via the Skypro TV app on their smart TVs. With a diverse selection of over 500 HD/SD/Live channels, 20+ OTT platforms, and various value-added services, the collaboration promises an unparalleled entertainment experience. Powered by BSNL's reliable broadband network, the service eliminates the need for traditional set-top boxes or additional bandwidth.
BSNL recently launched its Internet TV (IFTV) service in collaboration with Skypro. The rollout began in Chandigarh, targeting 8,000 customers initially, with plans to expand nationally and internationally. According to Sh Ajay Kumar Karaha, BSNL CGM Punjab Circle, this service is the result of thorough testing and aims to simplify content consumption for FTTH users by offering popular channels and sports broadcasts.
Skypro, established in 2019, has quickly gained recognition for its intranet-based IPTV technology, eliminating the need for traditional cables. Its advanced IPTV platform supports low latency, multi-CDN technology, and efficient bandwidth usage, ensuring a superior viewing experience for customers.
Dr. Pawanpreet Dhaliwal, CTO of Skypro, emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership, which merges BSNL’s robust connectivity with Skypro’s cutting-edge entertainment solutions. By starting with Punjab Circle, the service is set to reach other regions soon, revolutionizing content delivery and expanding Skypro’s market presence.
One of the standout benefits of this partnership is that BSNL FTTH subscribers can enjoy IPTV services at no extra cost. This includes access to live TV channels and OTT platforms, making the service an economical and attractive option for Indian households.
Looking ahead, Skypro is set to launch Oneplay, an online cloud gaming platform. Designed to stream high-quality games directly on smart TVs without the need for gaming consoles, Oneplay aims to bring affordable, high-quality gaming to rural India.
Skypro’s Business Head, Nitin Sood, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, calling it a milestone in home entertainment innovation. By leveraging BSNL's extensive network, Skypro aims to set a new standard in delivering immersive entertainment to Indian households.
