CenturyLink Inc. acquired video delivery technology provider Streamroot Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition is expected to help improve CenturyLink's ability to deliver over-the-top video content for customers in bandwidth-constrained areas, especially during peak internet traffic hours.
Streamroot's technology uses secure edge-based architecture to deliver premium video content across connected devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, set-top consoles and smart TVs.
In April, CenturyLink launched a new global mesh delivery platform that integrates its media delivery platform with Streamroot's peer-to-peer assisted content delivery network.
CenturyLink is a provider of hybrid networking, cloud connectivity and security solutions.
