ThinkAnalytics announced it is the first recommendations engine to license The Reference Design Kit (RDK) software stack from Comcast Corporation. The RDK is a pre-integrated software bundle that creates a common framework for powering tru2way(R), IP or hybrid set-top boxes (STBs), and video gateway devices. The RDK initiative is intended to speed the development and deployment of next-gen video services such as cloud-based functionality, and enhanced guide experiences with richer graphics and better search capabilities.

The agreement enables ThinkAnalytics to provide software development, integration and testing services to STB and chip manufacturers as well as MSOs who are planning to take advantage of The RDK.
