Arqiva partners with Techex for effortless live event distribution
Delivers enhancements on Arqiva's existing Arqade offering
12 September 2024, London, UK: Leading media services and communications infrastructure operator, Arqiva, and pioneering design architect for live cloud and broadcast solutions, Techex have today revealed a partnership to offer seamless distribution of live event content, from any source to anywhere globally.
The agreement between the firms, combining Arqiva's managed services and live IP software solutions from Techex, aims to remove the complexities associated with distributing live content across multiple destinations and multiple distribution workflows.
Designed with both flexibility and scalability in mind, the collaboration will deliver enhancements on Arqiva's existing Arqade offering, removing the need for large capex investment while providing access to the assurance of Arqiva's 24/7 network oversight.
Content owners, broadcasters and rights holders of all sizes are at different points on their journey into distributing content over IP and the internet. The complexity involved in delivering the security, network and transport methods required is immense.
We're delighted to join forces with Techex to alleviate these challenges and provide efficient distribution for every purpose, from low latency, high-value content distribution on global platforms to niche streams straight to the internet.
Dom Wedgwood, Chief Technology Officer at Arqiva
