Fuugo and Glomex announce an end-to-end partnership
Affordable OTT streaming solution for Pay-Per-View Live Events, linear TV and VoD : New industry-leading coalition of glomex and Fuugo reshapes business
Munich, Germany – glomex GmbH of Germany and Axel Technologies of Finland announced today that they have formed a partnership to deliver a turnkey streaming and end-to-end OTT solution for pay-per-view live events at an affordable price.
Live streaming of sports, music and cultural events present a significant business opportunity. Especially for broadcasters and video publishers who can add it to their subscription service (SVOD), to their advertising service (AVOD) or as a standalone one-time pay-per-view purchase. However, the cost associated with live streaming events has always been prohibitively expensive.
“We have recognized the obvious need and significant business potential for agile and cost-efficient solutions for OTT live events”, states Petri Kalske, CEO of Axel Technologies. “Multi-CDN services and expertise in content business makes glomex the perfect partner for our Fuugo OTT Platform. I believe our joint cost-efficient and agile solution for streaming live events is something the market has been waiting for.”
Axel Technologies will provide 360-degree device coverage with its Fuugo OTT platform, which offers comprehensive content, customer and app management systems. glomex will provide the underlying video delivery technology with its industry-leading Media Delivery Service (MDS), which supports all modern streaming formats and DRM technologies.
Together, these technologies will ensure that video can be smoothly delivered to any device, anywhere in the world, regardless of the bandwidth situation. MDS is already one of the largest content delivery networks in Europe, currently supporting three billion video views on 50+ online and mobile platforms, primarily for ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, one of the most successful independent media companies in Europe.
