Our TikiLIVE IPTV solution just got a shot of adrenaline with our brand new middleware solution! Traditional Cable/Satellite providers offer subscription packages and now you can too! Follow their lead and create Basic, Plus and Premium packages, or blaze your own path with unique channel offerings of your choice. Our middleware goes one step farther. Not only can you charge for access to your IPTV network, these subscriptions are useful for Set Top Box or Over The Top (OTT) solutions and for mobile device access as well.

The viewer is able to purchase as many of these packages as they wish. This way they get exactly the content they want and you don’t have to worry that they’ll cancel because they don’t like the programming! Our integrated billing and user authentication makes it simple to charge one-time or recurring subscriptions.

Not the owner of the content being broadcasted? No problem! Our accounting tracks the licensing fees that you share with your content producers. Stay ahead of the competition with TikiLIVE middleware!

Key Features
• One-time and subscription-based billing options
• Real-time viewer authentication
• Comprehensive reporting
• 100% control of channel and package plans and Pricing
• Complete solution for IPTV, OTT, and Mobile delivery

The Mystery of Middleware Revealed

As you might have guessed, middleware sits “in the middle” between softwares that may be working on different operating systems. If your IPTV network were a house then middleware would be the plumbing. It runs throughout the entire house and once you have it, you would notice if it were removed!

In the IT industry, middleware is a general term for programming that serves to connect separate and often already existing programs. For your IPTV network, these programs include your network, payment gateway (online merchant), and viewing devices. Through an authentication process viewers are only able to access content if they have paid for it. This payment is tracked throughout the network so access is granted on all devices for which the viewer is approved (online, set top box, mobile).

If you’d like a more technical explanation, middleware consists of a library of functions, and enables a number of applications to page these functions from the common library rather than re-create them for each application. This simplifies integration of future applications that will behave similarly to programs already in place.

Keys to IPTV Success

ORGANIZATION Before jumping into a new venture it’s important to get a few things in order. Proper planning and organization saves time, money and undue stress for both you and your employees. Following these few guidelines should help make your business a success!

1. Have a business plan. Setting up realistic expectations on paper often makes the difference between the success and the failure of a network. Outline the steps to take in order to see the website go from an idea to a live production site. It’s the first step to becoming a happy .com business owner.
2. Find the tools. Today, there are solutions at every price point imaginable. From free (or just a few dollars investment) going up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cheap is always an attractive option and for some this is actually the best route. If you look at the business as a hobby then it’s important to keep costs down. Serious business owners should plan to investment in their business if they hope to achieve a profitable outcome.
3. Setup the infrastructure. When selecting your solution be sure that it can handle success! As your network increases in popularity, the strain on your system may become evident. Make sure your solution is scalable so expensive upgrades are not needed just as your business is starting to take off.

Broadcast your content to Roku Set Top Boxes

For a more traditional TV viewing experience we will configure your network to be able to stream your broadcasts to the popular line of Roku Set Top Boxes. Established as the leader in widely available and affordable Set Top Boxes, Roku is a gateway to get your content into over a million living rooms! Capture just 3% of this existing market at $10 per month for your content and that’s at least $4,000,000 per year! For our press release please click here.

A Set Top Box connects to the internet for the content and connects to a TV via an HDMI, composite, component or S-video cable for viewing. This is like a cable or satellite box, only it connects to the internet through an Ethernet connection instead of to the cable network or satellite via a coaxial cable. If you are interested in a mainstream, multi-purpose Set Top Box that already has market presence then choose from the Roku HD, Roku XD, or Roku XD|S. Buy directly from Roku here.

Custom Brand Your Own Set Top Boxes

Since your network is already branded to you, we can brand the Set Top Boxes that your clients receive to match your network as well. This way your brand always stays out in front of your customers! We put you in touch with the manufacturer directly so you can set the terms yourself. No middlemen in the way – you get the cheapest factory-direct prices! A quantity discount allows each of your subscribers to receive a branded Set Top Box for as little as $99. If you have a different Set Top Box model or brand you’d like to use we can program them to work too!
