MyBox STB Enabled With Google and Alexa Services Leveraging Last Mile Connectivity to Provide Voice Enabled Services MyBox has introduced an Alexa Kit which when paired with the STB will make the STB Alexa enabled. Once that happens, the users of the STB will be able to control their smart home devices, shop for household goods and do all of that hands-free. As per the company executive, the MyBox plans to sell 1million+ devices this year in India as well as international markets. Kharbanda said about this new product and their unique implementation, “We have around 350,000 to 400,000 STBs on the ground. So we are planning to upgrade the software of those boxes in the next two months. Thereafter, whatever volumes of boxes we supply will be Alexa enabled. We are also talking to some operators who have same the footprint to integrate the solution.” Kharbanda also said that their product would also be a reason for the providers to push for HD STBs as these HD Set-top boxes will allow for easy integration with Alexa services. He also emphasised about the issue of STBs being imported from ASEAN instead of being manufactured in India.
