MX1, a global media services company wholly owned by SES, and Vubiquity, a media technology solutions and content services provider, have signed a multi-year linear distribution deal.

The new service offering combines Vubniquity's linear transport portfolio with MX1’s service infrastructure and future-proof content aggregation management and delivery technology. These capabilities offer broadcasters, TV channels, affiliates, rights holders and content aggregators the ability to aggregate content and reach millions of viewers in the US and worldwide, through a single platform.

“We selected MX1 to provide the necessary innovative media technologies to support Vubiquity’s growth. We look forward to continuing to build this relationship,” said Darcy Antonellis, CEO at Vubiquity. 

Services are centralised from MX1’s Media Centre in Pennsylvania in the United States and went live in the US at the end of 2016.

“We are delighted to be working closely with Vubiquity and this deal represents a winning combination, bringing together the world’s best content, deliverable to anyone, on any screen,” said Avi Cohen, CEO at MX1.
