Ateme, a global leader in video compression and delivery solutions, has today announced that its contribution solutions enabled Movistar Plus+, Telefónica’s subscription video platform in Spain, to deliver premium UHD/HDR and Dolby Atmos® World Cup content for broadcast across the country during the 2022 World Cup tournament.

Likewise, TSA’s engineering department led by Francisca Cabo, recognizes “Ateme’s speed and reliability in development and implementation processes, in addition to having a highly qualified technical and support team, undoubtedly eased the deployment”.
“Telefónica sets a very high standard for the delivery of premium video and audio content,” said Julien Mandel, Solution Marketing Senior Director, Contribution & Distribution Segment at Ateme. “We’re delighted to have supported their technology strategy, and to have helped them be at the cutting edge of video experiences during the 2022 World Cup.”
