Michel Artières, chairman and CEO of Ateme, says: “A merger with Anevia and its high-performance solutions for optimising video flow delivery is a key step in our expansion strategy in our customers’ value chain and the conquest of new markets.” The melding of the two companies will result in producing a major player in the video broadcasting infrastructure, with a combined revenue of over €80 million. “The shared vision of the two companies and their strong culture should enable us to rapidly create significant value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

the Stratos bundle hopes to instead help operators focus on growing their subscriber base by enabling access to a ready-to-deploy platform. The CEO of EKT also commented, “EKT has been working successfully with Nordija and Verimatrix for the last few years. However, now bringing our ‘best of breed’ products into one cloud solution with a single point of contact exceeds a normal collaboration. This means true dedication to delivering a seamlessly integrated system that helps our customers focus on gaining market share and getting more revenue.” The Stratos system offers a single point of contact, a single contract, rapid onboarding and a simplified way to operate the system, all from one management console.
