The resulting services portfolio will include studio and playout facilities with full 24/7 MCR and connectivity to wide range of teleports and data centres, TV and VoD IP portal solutions including Tier 1 broadcast quality CDN, App development for OTT platforms and IP-connected devices such as TVs, STBs, mobiles, PC’s and tablets and worldwide content distribution to hotels and cable networks.
