The Slovenia-based global teleport STN has entered into a partnership with Amagi, a provider of cloud-managed broadcast services and targeted advertising for TV and OTT.
The partnership, which integrates services between the two companies, will benefit TV networks around the world. They can now rely on guaranteed compatibility between the Amagi Skylight cloud-managed broadcast services platform and STN’s satellite uplink services for channel delivery and distribution.
Commenting on the development, Mitja Lovsin, chief commercial officer, STN, said: “STN is pleased to add Amagi’s cloud-based playout to our growing list of options for service solutions.
“Our customers that choose Amagi will get the scalability and cost savings that come from moving their operations to a full-featured, hardware-light, cloud-based infrastructure.”
K.A. Srinivasan, co-founder of Amagi, added: “We aim to find partners that help our clients strengthen their offerings over the cloud. STN is one of the world’s most used and fastest-growing teleports, with a reputation for reliability, which is what makes it the right kind of partner for us.
“Being able to cross-sell our services will help both companies, but most importantly, by leveraging our synergies, we can provide a world-class broadcast experience for our global TV-network customers.”
