Verizon taps Vubiquity for on-demand services deal

Verizon has selected Amdocs-owned Vubiquity to provide processing and packaging for its video-on-demand and pay-per-view portfolio across its Fios multiscreen platform.

The managed services and technology deal builds on an existing content licensing component. Vubiquity will supplement Verizon’s collection of assets across existing and future formats – including 4K and High Dynamic Range.

“Verizon remains vigorously focused on making content personal with video that can go anywhere to meet the demands of even the most discerning customers,” said Heather McDavitt, vice president of Verizon Fios Consumer Products.

Amdocs Media Division head, Darcy Antonellis, said: “We are pleased to expand our partnership with Verizon as they continue to innovate for consumers across the complex and transformative media landscape.”
