# About Stellar Synergy Labs **URL:** https://stellarsynergylabs.com/about-us **Markdown mirror:** https://stellarsynergylabs.com/about-us.md Stellar Synergy Labs builds modern infrastructure for professional IPTV operators. Both of our products — Stellar ONE for Samsung Smart TVs and the Stellar Stream platform (Professional and Minimal editions) — are in pre-release, with public launches planned for 2026. We continuously develop and deploy improvements ahead of release. --- ## Our Mission To equip independent IPTV operators worldwide with reliable, scalable infrastructure they fully control — so they can build their own streaming services on solid technical foundations. ## Our Vision To be the most trusted infrastructure provider for the IPTV industry — setting higher standards for reliability, control, and operator independence. ## Our Values Reliability, operator control, and engineering rigor drive what we build. We believe operators should own their stack, not rent it from someone else. --- ## What we are — and what we are not **We are** - Infrastructure for IPTV operators - A management platform operators run - A licensable, owned-stack solution - A neutral technical tool **We are not** - A streaming service - A content host or distributor - A reseller of channels or playlists - An operator of broadcast services --- ## Built in Europe, for global operators Stellar Synergy Labs is a Romanian company, operating under the laws of the European Union. For operators serving European audiences, that means GDPR-native data protection, predictable EU contract law, and full alignment with the Digital Services Act and the European Accessibility Act. No compliance surprises, no cross-jurisdiction grey areas. --- ## At a glance - **Established:** 2026 - **Jurisdiction:** Romania (European Union) - **License model:** Per-node - **Architecture:** Multi-server, load-balanced --- ## How we got here, and what's next ### Milestones (completed) **2025 — The vision begins** Stellar Synergy Labs began as a focused effort to build IPTV infrastructure around what operators actually need — reliability, visibility, and control — informed by years of hands-on work with existing streaming systems. **2025 — Stellar Stream development begins** Work started on Stellar Stream, a management panel built on a Python/FastAPI backend and a Next.js interface. Early effort went into the hard parts: hardware-accelerated transcoding with NVENC, multi-GPU support, and a hybrid model where operators keep their content, data, and servers entirely under their own control. **Late 2025 — Stellar ONE development begins** Development began on Stellar ONE as a Samsung Smart TV application built directly on the Tizen platform, focused on a fast, responsive viewing experience with a full electronic program guide at its core. **Early 2026 — Stellar ONE private testing** Stellar ONE moved into private testing — refining the viewing experience, the program guide, and the playback pipeline ahead of release, while Stellar Stream development continued in parallel. **2026 — Stellar Synergy Labs S.R.L. is founded** The company was formally incorporated in Romania, establishing the legal foundation for launch. ### Roadmap (planned) **2026 — Stellar ONE launch** Stellar ONE will launch on Samsung Smart TVs, pending store approval — its first release on the Tizen platform. **2026 — Stellar ONE on Android TV and LG webOS** Stellar ONE will expand beyond Samsung, with dedicated versions built for Android TV and LG webOS to broaden the range of supported TVs. **2026–2027 — Stellar Stream goes live** Stellar Stream will open to operators, bringing its management panel, hardware-accelerated transcoding, and monitoring tools to a wider audience. --- ## Company details **Stellar Synergy Labs S.R.L.** - Trade Register: J2026032309001 - Tax ID (CUI): 54710198 - EUID: ROONRC.J2026032309001 - Jurisdiction: Romania · European Union - Registered office: Str.
