Overview
Icareus Suite is an Over-The-Top (OTT) TV platform that is used to stream content to subscription Video-on-Demand (SVOD) or Transaction Video-on-Demand (TVOD) based subscriptions. CRM.COM provides a ready-made implementation with Icareus Suite, via the Icareus Provisioning module, which is primarily responsible for handling the activation and deactivation of signals transmitted to devices.
For example, when a new subscription is created in CRM.COM, the subscription is also created in Icareus Suite which is directly updated; the provisioning signals are sent to the subscriber's device to activate the registered services.

Icareus Business Examples
Subscription with multiple viewing points
| Panel | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Scenario 1 Company ZX offers to its customer's the option to have multiple viewing points per subscription. This enables its customers to have a separate box and card in each of the rooms, and choose between having the same channels or different channels available through boxes . The maximum number of viewing points that can be added to a subscription is 4. Solution For each set of box and card that will be made available to subscribers, CRM.COM must have a different provisioning distributor available, in order to set the channel availability and restrictions per box. In order to support this, the following distributors must be set up in the Provisioning Provider.
