Recently, Accedo and Orange announced a new partnership to enable an advanced end-to-end solution for the upcoming Orange Live Box Play set-top-box.

Orange Live Box Play uses Accedo's leading application management solution, Accedo Application Sphere. This application provides a customizable front-end user interface with multiple existing applications. Accedo Application Sphere was designed for integration flexibility and also supports integration all IP-based TV and subscriber management, device management or content security solutions.

Accedo will be a key enabler of the Orange Appshop section, which will include many applications at the time of launch. Users will be able to access a range of program-specific contextual apps, further enriching the viewer experience.

Orange Live Box Play will offer state of the art graphics because of its Intel Groveland set-top-box media processor. Orange will also integrate social networks allowing viewers to access those sites while watching TV on a split screen. The gyro remote control facilitates navigation and will be equipped with a full keyboard in the back.
