Freedom client solutions suite

Our Amino Freedom client solutions products are a collection of applications, plug-ins, services languages and APIs that all sit on our range of Freedom hardware platforms.

Benefits of our client solutions products include:

  • An integrated development environment that extends the capability of the generic MeeGo platform
  • A rich development environment to build multiple applications that use both the video capability of the STB and the connectivity of the Internet
  • Usage of existing technology and open platforms minimises the need to retrain and hire new resources
  • Use of Internet driven technologies allows for the re-use of legacy platforms and technology.
