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.

Head of TV services, Engineering Network at MEO Miguel Jardim said: “We needed to expand our streaming network and advance our recording architecture to keep pace with robust subscriber demand for our OTT TV services based on Apple TV and Android TV, along with mobile devices. Velocix’s technology is reliable, flexible, and cloud-ready, which is critically important to us as we grow and evolve our business.”

CEO at Velocix, Anthony Berkeley 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.”
