CenturyLink has bought privately held OTT video distributor Streamroot for an undisclosed sum. CenturyLink said the Paris-based startup would help it improve video and static content delivery within bandwidth-constrained areas, and strengthen its content delivery network (CDN) and edge computing services.
Streamroot, which was founded in 2013, provides OTT video optimization technologies for content publishers, network service providers and enterprise customers. Streamroot’s content delivery models enable connected consumer devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers and set-top boxes, load premium content securely through a private mesh delivery.
