Alpha Networks, a provider in hybrid TV back-ends, has acquired 100 per cent of the shares of Hubee, a Paris-based software company specialising in smart video platforms and unique user experience solutions.

“We are proud and excited to bring together two companies that share the same values and market vision,” said Kris Warreyn, CEO at Alpha Networks. “This acquisition will allow us to deliver additional value to our customers and partners by providing them with competitive solutions and TV expertise for increased content monetisation.”

Hubee’s front-ends offer seamless integration with Alpha Networks’ tucano back-ends, unlocking new possibilities for media companies and network operators that want to deliver next-generation content services. This acquisition also brings additional video expertise to Alpha Networks, in particular, ad-insertion features and accurate EPG services.

“This transaction allows Hubee to continue its development with the help of a market-leading back-end with telco-grade capabilities and a highly scalable and modular approach,” said Frédéric Pie, chairman and founder of Hubee. “I will join the advisory board at Alpha Networks and look forward to contributing to Alpha Networks’ future success.”
