What AVIQ Systems does

AVIQ Systems AG is a Switzerland-based, privately held provider of over-the-top (OTT) video solutions founded in 2003 and headquartered in Wallisellen near Zurich, with an engineering center in Bulgaria. The company designs and sells a proprietary Set-Top Box family — currently anchored by the TIPc9 flagship launched in 2022 with 4K UHD HEVC decoding and Android 9.0.x — combined with cloud-based management (ABMP) and analytics (ATP) modules. Its flagship commercial offering, TV-in-a-Box, is a turn-key bundle for telecom companies, ISPs, cable operators, and video content distributors who need to add or extend television services without ripping out existing infrastructure, delivering up to 350 TV channels, 7-day Catchup, recording, pause, a VoD library of 5,000 movies, and integrations with Netflix, YouTube, and DLNA.

AVIQ monetizes through a mix of one-time setup fees, hardware sales of TIPc boxes, recurring monthly operating fees scaled by channel count and active subscribers, managed cloud services (ABMP/ATP), professional services for OTT strategy and system design, and transaction-based VoD revenue. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise B2B sales, primarily in DACH with a stated USA presence. Since 2016, AVIQ has operated a strategic alliance with ScaleFocus, acting as ScaleFocus's exclusive Swiss representative while leveraging ScaleFocus's nearshore engineering teams in Bulgaria for development delivery. The company holds no patents and discloses no named enterprise customer logos, operating in a niche but durable position in the European OTT enabler market.
