Amsterdam and Apeldoorn, May 25th, 2021 – Divitel, an innovative independent expert in the field of digital video distribution, joined forces with Ledger Leopard, a leading blockchain enterprise solutions provider, to implement block chain technology to the Divitel’s managed video distribution operational processes.  

The project will be fully operational and ready to market by end of 2022 offering increased flexibility, control, ease of use and speed when managing the access of video distribution ecosystem data, independent of which technology is used.  Divitel video carrier customers will be offered the option to include this blockchain module on top of their ecosystems. In addition, video carriers who outsource their daily video distribution operations to Divitel, will also be able to opt for this new module to be deployed.

“This project is part of our ongoing innovation efforts as we strive to apply the newest technology like machine learning and others, in order to offer our customers a way to remain one step ahead of their competitors, reduce operational costs and increase operational margin.”
