Media Nucleus will use FMH’s Q-Flow technology to enable customers to experience high quality video streaming.

Falcon Media House (FMH) has joined forces with Media Nucleus and Quiptel to offer an OTT service to millions of users in Africa and Asia.

The partnership enables FMH – a UK-based global digital media group – to offer an OTT platform to medium and large sized broadcasters, as well as parts of its content portfolio to local content service providers. 

Media Nucleus specialises in broadcast and pay TV solutions, and its clients include East African satellite broadcaster Zuku TV.

It will use FMH’s Q-Flow technology to enable customers to experience high quality video streaming.

It’s claimed this overcomes the challenges of congested and slow connections to deliver content to the end user using the most efficient and cost effective route.

FMH reckons this results in “seamless streaming over even the most challenging networks and mobile conditions”. 

The two companies will work with Chinese business-to-business OTT platform provider, Quiptel. It will integrate with Media Nucleus’ subscriber management software to provide billing solutions to customers.

The partners add that their joint solution will enable broadcasters and cable companies to increase their market share with lower capex, as they will not need to invest in hardware and lay new network cables.
