Miami, Florida, May 28, 2014 – Clearleap, the leading provider of multiscreen video logistics for the broadcasting and pay-TV industry, is continuing its global expansion by launching into the Latin American market with a strong line-up of on-the-ground resources. With its thriving pay-TV market, and the ever-increasing traction of OTT and multiscreen, Clearleap has identified the LATAM region as a key market for its on-going growth.
Offering content providers and pay-TV operators a new approach to accelerating their multiscreen strategy, Clearleap’s platform provides efficient management and delivery of premium video over both IP and traditional pay-TV networks.
