2026-01-20

Norway, January, 2026KAON announced the successful launch of T-We Boks III, Telenor’s next-generation set-top box, now available to households across Norway.
Developed and delivered by KAON in close collaboration with Telenor and ADB, the new device represents a major step forward in performance, sustainability, and user experience—and establishes the technological baseline for Telenor’s unified Nordic TV platform.

 

KAON provided the high-performance hardware and core software platform behind T-We Boks III, enabling operators to deliver a future-ready TV experience aligned with evolving consumer expectations. Powered by Google Android TV 14, the device combines advanced entertainment capabilities with a compact, eco-conscious design, supporting Telenor’s long-term Nordic entertainment strategy. Following the Norwegian launch, the platform is set to expand to Telenor Sweden and DNA Finland, ensuring a harmonized TV experience across the region.

 

At the core of T-We Boks III is KAON’s latest-generation STB architecture, built on state-of-the-art Amlogic chipsets with Dolby Vision support. With 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2, the device delivers faster performance, smoother navigation, and the scalability required for upcoming Nordic-wide features, including cloud-based services planned for 2026. The lightweight form factor and use of recyclable, eco-friendly materials further reflect KAON’s commitment to sustainable product design.

 

Running on Android TV 14, T-We Boks III gives users access to tens of thousands of applications, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, and locally relevant video services—ensuring a seamless and future-proof entertainment experience for Nordic households.

 

“We are proud to deliver the hardware and software platform powering T-We Boks III,” said Jens Gabrielsson, Head of European Sales & VP Sales Nordics at KAON. “This launch reflects KAON’s commitment to enabling leading operators like Telenor to deliver superior customer experiences, while also meeting growing expectations around sustainability, performance, and design.”

 

ADB complements the KAON platform with its latest Android TV Launcher, fully integrated with ADB’s Graphyne TV backend. The launcher builds on a broad multi-device ecosystem already deployed by Telenor, spanning Linux set-top boxes, mobile, web, Apple TV, and Smart TV clients. The same launcher experience is now being prepared for Sweden and Finland, supporting a shared roadmap, feature alignment, and faster cross-market innovation.

 

“The launch of T-We Boks III marks an important milestone in our multi-platform partnership with Telenor,” said Philippe Lambinet, Chief Marketing Officer at ADB. “Working closely with KAON, we have delivered a deeply integrated Android TV experience that raises the bar for user experience across the Nordic region.”

For Telenor, T-We Boks III serves as the cornerstone of its Nordic TV evolution, enabling cross-border feature rollouts, long-term service consolidation, and upcoming innovations such as cloud-based recording services.

 

“This platform will be the baseline for our Nordic TV roadmap,” said Emil Hansen, VP Head of Nordic TV at Telenor. “Our collaboration with KAON and ADB allows us to deliver seamless streaming experiences while continuing to support customers with more traditional TV habits.”

 

With T-We Boks III, KAON reinforces its role as a trusted technology partner for tier-one operators—powering next-generation TV platforms that combine performance, sustainability, and scalability across markets.
