Upgrade Processes FTV
Flamingo Television Upgrades
Flamingo Television is working hard on the launch of our new products and services and the upgrade of some existing ones.
The goals for this, that were set about a year ago, are to upgrade the quality and stability of our existing infrastructure and products and services, which allows also for new products and services.
We decided to launch our initial new website in English, since it is a language that most people speak and understand, but we might make translations for Papiamentu and Dutch in the future. Via this web-site we are more capable of keeping you as our customer up to date with our project progress as well as give you answers on frequently asked questions such as support questions and information about planned upgrades, roll-outs, maintenance and or possible disruptions of service.
After a long period of hard work, we are now also pleased to announce that some of the new upgrades have been completed and we would like to inform you also about the launch dates of our upcoming services, some of which are in the finalizing stage now.
In order to upgrade Flamingo Televisions Service the following projects were started on which we can elaborate a little:
