    Android TV coming your way thanks to Ericsson and Google

    Ericsson's cloud-based MediaFirst TV Platform is shifting into the Android TV ecosystem, Google’s operating system for the set-top-box.

    Ericsson MediaFirst is a software-defined, media-optimized end-to-end portfolio suite, and its integration with Android TV will provide an additional pathway to extend MediaFirst cloud-based TV services, including 4K-UHD live TV channels, video-on-demand, catch-up TV and cloud DVR to an even wider subscriber base.
