Taipei – September 09, 2015 – ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) chipset solution provider, announced today it is collaborating with Adrenio to deploy new high definition set-top boxes in Switzerland. Adrenio is a professional digital TV solution provider and system integrator serving about 200 independent cable operators in Switzerland.

"With the ALi SoC certified for Conax Cardless CAS, Adrenio is able to offer a very competitive High Definition STB to its clients," says Thomas Muehlehaler, CEO, Adrenio. "And with the Adrenio “radio” DVB function, we ensure continuous “radio” reception beyond the analogue FM switch-off via the same device, without the need of switching on the TV set."
“ALi has accumulated years of experience in developing pay-TV solutions targeting specific markets,” says Tony Chang, General Manager of ALi’s Broadcast and Broadband Media Business Unit. “The Adrenio STB with ALi SoC offers a competitive solution combining cost efficiency, advanced cardless security, and rich media features.
