Hambisana recently started a new relationship with NestLife (a 100% black-owned and managed life assurance company).
 
Hambisana will be offering Solution Architecture, Project Management, Software Development and IT Support Services. The project will focus on complying with the Financial Services Board (FSB) regulations while expanding the current infrastructure and in-house software product. Development will be done to enhance the interaction between NestLife and the brokers. Focus will also be placed on reducing the paper consumption and automating the claims process as far as possible.
    

A roadshow was held at the end of 2011 in Kenya to offer the local fibre Telco's the opportunity to look at the Hambisana product suite. One of the potential customers Frontier - Optical Networks Limited was visited to show the full capability in the IPTV area.
The presentation covered head-end hardware and the configuration software, Video on demand (VOD) hardware, VOD encryption, content injection, gaming, Set-top Box hardware and full end to end monitoring of the solution. The Altech group will set up an agency in Kenya for local representation purposes. This enables the group of companies to offer a turn key solution for the customers. 
 

Hambisana in partnership with Altech MultiMedia is currently implementing the DVB Monitoring Wall Software for DigiTurk in Turkey. Digiturk is a Turkish Satellite television provider, founded in 1999, with services starting in mid-2000. They offer, both national cable TV channels and their own channels, national radio, and music streams of different genres. The software will be deployed to monitor for DVB stream quality and video wall monitoring purposes. 

Hambisana is from time to time contracted by Leapfrog Investments to do a technical due diligence on companies in South Africa and Africa, focusing on short term loans and insurance products.

LeapFrog invests in businesses that extend and enhance security to the poor and financially excluded, partnering with local and international players to support down-market growth and expansion of insurance products and inclusive financial services. 

Hambisana's product range and solutions are gaining traction on the international market. With market knowledge, a more maturing technology and reduced costs, Hambisana is taking full benefit of the conditions by offering superior products for the industry. Our DVB Monitoring Software and DVB-IP/IPTV Portals are being sold across the world with projects currently running in:

• Sub Sahara Africa
• Kenya
• Mauritius
• Turkey
• UK
• Middle East
• Sri-Lanka 
• Australia 

 

The biggest problem facing the DVB-IP Market in Africa is the cost of the head-end equipment. Hambisana and International Datacasting is busy on a project to reduce the complete end-to-end equipment cost and thereby making the technology affordable and accessible to a larger market. For more information please contact us. 

Hambisana in Partnership with Altech Multimedia attended the yearly IBC Exhibition in Amsterdam. This year more than 50 000 visitors attended from around the world. Hambisana showcased the DVB Monitoring and IPTV / DVB-IP Solutions with great success. Opportunities arose from Russia, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Kenya and many more.
A great thank you to the whole team that made this such a great success.
