Legacy STB Upcycling
Protect Return On Investment And The Environment
Proven Methodology For STB Upcycling
In-Field Upgrades, Without Truck Rolls
Oregan Networks is an expert in designing and executing in-field STB upcycling and migration strategies, having done so successfully for multiple tier-1 operators.
Often driven by the need to transition STBs to a replacement backoffice and/or video headend, a migration and upcycling strategy also drives wider benefits — from a significantly enhanced user experience through to enabling content services such as Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime Video.
The process carries exceptionally low technical risk and is conducted remotely over an IP or DVB upgrade, avoiding truck-rolls and expensive self-install or hardware-replacement strategies.
Extend STB Lifecycle By 5 Years Or More
Better ROI, Better For The Environment
Oregan's market-leading technology enables operators to extend the lifecycle of deployed STBs and significantly enhance the ROI from the original purchase — deferring large-scale hardware replacement and the capital expense that comes with it.
On average, STBs migrated or upcycled by Oregan deliver an additional five years or more of active service. That keeps working hardware out of landfill and reduces new capex — better for the balance sheet and the environment.
