Service Discovery
With many OTT services providing the On-Demand videos, it was critical to analyse how does this new service viable in terms of business? And what are the opportunities, approaches we need to implement in order to launch it?
Gaian Solutions is exclusively tied with broadcasters in USA and India. Hence the serviceable scope is narrowed out. With clients already existing and actively participating in the USA, we have decided to launch the MVP only in USA.
Mobius has a heavy competition and threats in the market, with many service providers already bundling with major network providers.
To understand the scope with service and network providers, i have conducted workshop individually with the beta clients in USA. Based on the workshops, i have understood that the service provider is lookking to expand its capabilities and network providers are looking for live engagement technology, which no other service providers are currently providing. Hence, Mobius can add a major value by providing the technology services to services providers and leverage their broadcasting capabilities to create the whole service ecosystem.
Broadcasting Service Provider: ATSC 3.0
Network Providers (Example: ABC, NBC, CBS etc)

An advanced next-gen TV that not just streams On-Demand videos, but also helps in engaging with live broadcast videos.
The technology provider, in this case, Gaian Solutions, create applications that support in engaging with the live broadcasting videos. These applcations can be requested to trigger for multiple network providers, based on their broadcasting content and engagements as required.
In order to support the dynamic engagements that syncs with the TV, Companion apps and set-top-box Gaian Solutions integrated the service with Data lake, another product of their own, by creating an eco-system that co-created value with each products.
