The Egyptian telecommunications market generated US$6.4 billion in service revenue in 2010, having grown at 21% CAGR over the previous two years, according to Pyramid Reserach. And, while this period represents the peak growth phase, Pyramid suggests the country will remain one of the fastest growing markets in Africa and the Middle East going forward, mainly due to the promise of increased mobile broadband penetration and the value added services that high speed internet access can bring. Point Topic identifies a similar trend, indicating that the mobile telephony and broadband segments are starting to overtake all other telecommunication segments in the country.

In this busy emerging African market, our Dreamgallery™  middleware solution will power IPTV services from Egyptian Advanced Multimedia Systems, an Egyptian provider of IPTV services. The Nilesat Satellite will be used to transmit the multicast streams and VOD content to Regional Headends in the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf area, and EAMS project is expected to implement an average of 50 regional head ends every year for the first five years of operation.

After numerous successful deployments in Europe and mainly in developed markets, we are excited to extend our reach to offer Dreamgallery’s flexibility for regionalized administration and customization needed for this type of operator such as EAMS. Based on the dynamic nature of our platform and its ability to fit a variety of deployments, we look forward to helping more and more service providers to offer an exciting multimedia and content experience to viewers across the region.
