Proximus opts for Velocix

April 21, 2021 08.43 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

The Belgian telco Proximus has chosen Velocix’s content delivery network (CDN) to scale out its Pickx multiscreen video service.

As a result, it will be able to more than double its HTTP streaming capacity.

Commenting on the development, Thierry Demoor, head of digital products and solutions platforms at Proximus, said: “Velocix’s CDN was a thoughtful choice for us, given its exceptional stream density, ultra-reliable performance at scale, and field-proven ability to deliver the highest-quality viewing experience to our premium-tier Pickx customers”.

Anthony Berkeley, CEO at Velocix, added: “We are proud to extend our relationship with Proximus and support their thriving IP video business with our market-leading CDN solution. With consumer demand for streaming video on the rise around the world, it is a great time for innovative communications companies to take advantage of the latest streaming and personalisation technologies to attract new subscribers and increase video revenues”.

Proximus has over 1.7 million TV customers and accounts for nearly 38% of the digital TV market in Belgium. The company, which has been offering IPTV services since 2005, announced the launch of its Android TV based Pickx video service in June 2019 and expanded its offering with the launch of the Pickx app on Apple TV in 2020.
