RCoVL to beam across to Gulf screens soon

Reliance Communications Ventures (RCoVL) is making its first foray in the Gulf with an offering of an interactive television, broadband and media solution. This will be the first time that RCoVL will be offering more than broadband services.

The solution, called RiTV, delivers on-demand entertainment, internet access and information services to its users. The service, being offered in association with Orbit Communications (OCC), is being commercially launched for the hospitality sector in the Middle East.

The service that is being launched shortly, has undergone many trials over several months, before its commercial launch. While Reliance Communications provides the multimedia platform for RiTV, OCC is a Bahrain-based communications company specialising in three business sectors: pay TV broadcasting services, broadband services and VOIP telephony. The marketing efforts will be spearheaded by the latter.

The idea of creating such a solution for the hospitality sector is that it ensures a large market for the service as each of the rooms in the bigger hotels is likely to be equipped with this service.

Reliance is eyeing a market of the large five-star as well as the four-star hotels in the Gulf region which is being promoted as a tourist destination. At the same time, for the hotels, it presents opportunities to develop new revenue streams through the use of pay TV, internet access, etc .

Besides, the RiTV system will be able to extract data about the customers preferences that can be utilised by the hotel in providing a personalised service to its customers. For Reliance, which has been offering broadband services through its subsidiary, Flag Telecom, it is the first time that it is offering an end-product to users.
