What Infomir does

Infomir Group is a privately held European manufacturer of industrial and consumer electronics, founded in 2001 in Odessa, Ukraine. The company specializes in IPTV and OTT set-top boxes under the MAG brand — including Linux-based lines (MAG540, MAG544, MAG PRO Linux) and Android TV devices (MAG500A, MAG555, the latter a Google TV device) built predominantly on Amlogic chipsets (S905X2, S905Y4-B) — alongside the Ministra and Ministra PRO middleware TV platforms that provide subscriber management, content delivery, and a cross-platform Ministra Player available on Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, iOS, Android, and HTML5 (with Amazon Fire TV in development). Infomir claims 4,500+ deployed IPTV/OTT projects across 150 countries, supported by regional subsidiaries and warranty centers in Ukraine, Russia, the United States (Brooklyn), Germany (Eschborn and Frankfurt), and the UAE (Ajman).

The company's revenue model combines hardware unit sales to operators, integrators, and retail customers with software/service monetization on top: the Ministra platform is offered on a freemium basis (free for MAG STB support; paid tiers add Smart TV/mobile platforms and SLA-backed support — Standard 8x5 within 8 hours, Premium 24x7 within 4 hours), with a growing subscription transition for Ministra Player via app stores. Customization services — branded apps, device casings, packaging, remote controls — and professional services round out monetization. The MAGic Solution pre-configured bundle and Infomir Hotel Solution for offline NAS/USB playback address rapid-launch and hospitality use cases respectively.

Infomir reaches customers through a hybrid go-to-market: direct enterprise field sales with regional managers for orders of 100+ units (minimum order quantity for commercial proposals), a recruited network of authorized distributors and system integrators across EU, US, and MENA, and owned direct-to-consumer e-commerce stores in Europe (infomir.store), North America (us.infomir.store), and MENA (mena.infomir.store) for sub-100-unit retail buyers. Customer segments include IPTV/OTT operators (primary), cable TV operators modernizing to IP, ISPs bundling TV, startups entering the IPTV/OTT market, and hospitality/HoReCa deployments. Named customers include Volia, Setanta Sports, KyrgyzTelecom, and Comcast. Content marketing is anchored by the Infomir Academy free course program and the quarterly BROADVISION digital magazine, complemented by wiki documentation, a community forum, and event participation (ANGA COM). The MAG brand is a registered European trademark.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• ZTE: ZTE is a major Chinese telecom equipment vendor offering IPTV set-top boxes among its broader carrier product portfolio. It competes with Infomir in tier-2/3 operator IPTV hardware deals, particularly across Asia, Africa, and CIS markets.
• Huawei: Huawei is a global incumbent in telecom equipment and consumer devices, including a sizeable IPTV/OTT STB and smart-TV product line sold primarily to carriers. It is much broader than Infomir but overlaps in operator IPTV STB contracts, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Direct peers

• Vantiva (formerly Technicolor): Vantiva is a global connected-home technology company whose Connected Home division supplies STBs and software platforms to tier-1 operators worldwide. It directly competes with Infomir in IPTV/OTT hardware and middleware for large operator accounts.
• Sagemcom: Sagemcom is a European manufacturer of set-top boxes, broadband gateways, and audio/video solutions for tier-1 telecom operators. Its Sound/Video business line directly overlaps with Infomir's MAG STB portfolio for IPTV/OTT deployments.
• CommScope (formerly ARRIS): CommScope acquired ARRIS and is one of the largest global STB and broadband equipment vendors, serving major North American and European operators. It competes head-to-head with Infomir for operator IPTV/OTT deployments, particularly via the ARRIS portfolio.
• Amino Communications: Amino is a UK-based IPTV/OTT set-top box manufacturer serving operators worldwide with a similar mid-sized, specialist profile. Like Infomir, it bundles hardware with middleware (Amino Engage) targeting tier-2/3 operators and hospitality, making it one of the closest direct comparables in the niche.
• Kaonmedia: Kaonmedia is a South Korean IPTV/OTT set-top box and platform provider serving operators in Europe, LATAM, and Asia. Like Infomir, it offers both STB hardware and a middleware platform (Kaon Navigator) targeting tier-2/3 operators.
• Skyworth: Skyworth is a Chinese manufacturer of televisions and set-top boxes with global operator deployments. Its STB division competes with Infomir in IPTV/OTT hardware, particularly in emerging markets and Asia-Pacific operator deals.

Emerging players

• Roku: Roku is a leading connected-TV streaming platform and streaming-stick vendor. While not a direct STB manufacturer for operators, Roku (and its Roku TV OS licensing) competes with Infomir's MAG STBs at the consumer/operator consumption layer and is one of the platforms Ministra Player integrates with.
• Apple TV: Apple TV (tvOS) is a consumer streaming platform with strong operator and hospitality deployments. It competes with dedicated IPTV STBs in premium consumer segments and is a target integration platform for Infomir's Ministra Player via the App Store.
