This new offline feature of Orange cinéma séries application complements the live 3G streaming watching experience, said Olivier Dhotel, director Mobile TV - Group Strategic Marketing at Orange.

Bluestreak Technology was able to work with an exceptional group of partner companies that displayed the professionalism, expertise, and sense of urgency necessary to provide a high-quality product in unprecedented timeframes.”

“We value the trust that Orange placed in us to lead this project and we look forward to collaborating further with the team as we expand the capabilities of this service in the future,” Jodoin added.
