Vodafone Group PLC and Kaltura, the AI Video Experience Cloud, announced that they have extended their partnership around the Kaltura-powered Vodafone TV solution (VTV).
Vodafone launched VTV in 2014, and it has since grown to serve several million subscribers across eight markets, consistently delivering reliable, high-quality video experiences to viewers.
Kaltura’s platform has been supporting Vodafone’s continued transition from providing traditional on-premises based IPTV services to offering cloud-native over-the-top services. The partnership has driven innovation and growth for both companies and has enabled the rapid rollout and continuous evolution of Cloud TV services.

Under the extended partnership, Kaltura and Vodafone plan to evolve the current solution in capabilities and functionalities and expand it to more subscribers, and potentially to additional markets. The partnership will also explore the deployment of new AI-infused Kaltura products that further boost user engagement, interactivity, and personalization, and that increase monetization and operational efficiency.
The partnership extension reaffirms the depth and breadth of collaboration between the two companies, and the robustness, and scalability of VTV and of Kaltura’s platform.
“We partnered with Kaltura over ten years ago due to its innovative vision, and together we’ve built, and deployed to millions of subscribers across multiple countries, a market leading Cloud TV platform that combines the best of OTT and Pay-TV into a scalable service,” said Alberto Ripepi, Group Chief Network Officer at Vodafone. “We have a strong partnership with Kaltura, and look forward to continuing our joint innovation, leadership, and growth for many more years.”
“It has been a great privilege and honor to partner with Vodafone over the last decade and bring to market together the worlds’ leading cloud TV service,” said Ron Yekutiel, Co-founder, Chairman, President, and CEO of Kaltura. “We are very excited to extend and deepen our partnership, as well as about the prospect of deploying new AI-infused offerings that would supercharge customer engagement, interactivity, and personalization, and boost monetization and operational efficiency.”
