In late 2024 Telenor Nordics, part of the Telenor Group, selected Scalstrm to deliver its next-generation streaming platform for live-TV and VoD across the Nordic region, leveraging the Scalstrm Origin platform to upgrade performance, efficiency, and scale. 

Telenor is replacing its legacy video streaming infrastructure in three countries with Scalstrm’s Origin and Packaging platform in the cloud to serve over 1 million subscribers in the Nordics spanning Finland, Norway and Sweden. This platform will provide advanced video processing for a comprehensive suite of modern TV services, including Live TV, Start-Over, Catch-Up TV, Network PVR (nPVR), and VoD. The implementation is well on its way with ongoing migration of content archives, and the first three live-TV channels have been deployed to customers in Telenor’s Finnish operation, DNA.

“Scalstrm Origin brings the agility, performance, and efficiency that our streaming operations need for the future. This is a strategic leap forward, providing future-proof infrastructure to deliver world-class streaming experiences to our customers across the Nordics,” said Emil Hansen, VP Head of Nordic TV in Telenor. Scalstrm Origin introduces a flexible cloud deployment model. It’s foundation on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) ensures rapid deployment and efficient resource utilization. As a next step Just-In-Time (JIT) Transcoding will be introduced to enable dynamic content packaging on-demand, reducing storage footprint and optimizing compute cost while maintaining high-quality streaming.

“Partnering with Telenor on this multi-country transformation is a strong validation of Scalstrm Origin as a next-generation streaming platform. By replacing legacy infrastructure with a flexible, cloud-native Origin and Packaging solution, Telenor is setting a new benchmark for scalable, efficient, and high-performance TV services in the Nordics. We are proud to support Telenor as they future-proof their streaming operations and deliver consistently high-quality experiences to over one million subscribers,” said Patrik Alm, Founder and CEO of Scalstrm

Telenor’s content experience includes integration with major premium providers such as Viaplay, HBO Max, SkyShowtime and more, delivering blockbuster movies, popular series, and extensive live sports coverage – including Premier League football, NHL, Formula 1 and more. Audiences will also enjoy Nordic originals, documentaries, children’s shows, and exclusive local productions.
