GMIT, a subsidiary of Munich-based technology group Rohde & Schwarz, has acquired the technology of Motama. The acquisition will expand the Berlin-based company's product portfolio for interruption-free transmission of audio and video content in IP networks.
The acquisition will enhance the expertise of Rohde & Schwarz subsidiary GMIT in the growth market of live
online content distribution.
Headquartered in Saarbruecken, Motama provides professional transmission via unmanaged IP networks. The Saarbruecken-based company's RelayCaster protocol
minimises packet losses to enable the quality-of-service (QoS) conditions required for interruption-free transmissions.
Hannes Strobel, VP monitoring & headend, at
Rohde & Schwarz and MD GMIT, says "RelayCaster technology represents a major expansion of our Broadcast and Media Division's
current portfolio in the field of interruption-free transmission, and will impact future applications. RelayCaster gives us the benefits of
a fully established product in a highly promising market."
RelayCaster and other Motama products are now available from GMIT
as independent products. Motama technology will be integrated into the Rohde & Schwarz broadcast and media portfolio and can be
used for new software and cloud environments. Motama products and technology will remain available through existing sales partners and
also be integrated into the Rohde & Schwarz product portfolio for worldwide marketing via the Rohde & Schwarz sales network.
