Altice Portugal-owned MEO has announced a partnership with video streaming tech supplier Velocix to expand its Apple TV and Android TV based video services.

MEO is Portugal’s largest pay TV provider with more than 6 million customers. The operator will utilise Velocix’s CDN platform, along with its new software as a service recording management platform, VRM, to transition time-shifted TV recording workflows into cloud-based technologies.

Velocix’s technology is reliable, flexible, and cloud-ready, which is critically important to us as we grow and evolve our business.” 

Anthony Berkeley, CEO at Velocix, said: “We are delighted to extend our successful relationship with MEO, and excited that our cloud-ready software solutions are helping to bring next-generation video services to consumers across Portugal.”
