SmartLabs, a privately owned German software company founded in 2007, develops service delivery platforms for interactive digital television, including OTT, IPTV, and hybrid TV systems. The company, which employs approximately 60 people, specializes in solutions for set-top boxes and other related technologies. In 2023, SmartLabs reported revenues of less than $10 million.
Smartlabs and Innovative Systems celebrated ten years of partnership on 27 U.S. states, supplying service providers with STBs and video solutions. A separate news item highlighted concerns about underinvestment in operator devices, noting that many service providers are using retail devices instead of branded Set-Top Boxes to reduce costs, though this impacts control. Smartlabs also expanded its work with Wiltel in Argentina, contributing to the operator's growth and service scaling. Finally, Smartlabs released year-end updates for SmartTUBE SDP and Apps, including bug fixes and performance optimization, and upgraded the SmartMEDIA Content Delivery System to improve streaming stability and image integrity.
