MONTREAL – Canadian video supplier Aldea Solutions is joining forces with Italian telco Sparkle to extend video transport services coverage in Europe, Africa and Middle East (EMEA).
As a result of this partnership, media companies in the EMEA region will benefit from Aldea’s comprehensive portfolio of services for the transmission, distribution and management of video content and from Sparkle’s extensive fibre network, reads the news release.
Aldea will extend its video service capabilities into these new regions and provide customers direct access to its existing video network in 20 countries in the Americas and Western Europe. Together, the two companies will provide support for all the latest video formats, encoding standards, as well as streaming and distribution to multichannel integrated platforms (DTT, DTH, and OTT).
“We are enthusiastic about this new partnership with Sparkle, as we believe it will not only provide material gains to our customers but also allow Aldea to continue to extend its world-class media solutions to new parts of the world in tandem with the great assets and know-how brought forth by Sparkle”, said Aldea CEO Lionel Bentolila, in the release.
Aldea provides end-to-end worldwide transmission and content distribution services and operates an extensive fibre-based network with points-of-service in major cities throughout the Americas and international extensions in Europe.
